They allow, “people within a state [to start] an Initiative to change the laws and/or state constitution without using the state legislators to do it” (4). ]]> 2018-01-26 12:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_roosa/tefjxupw0e1r/wish/225022117 megan_roosa https://padlet.com/megan_roosa/tefjxupw0e1r/wish/225022220 The fact that Initiatives we’re adopted shows that the Ohio constitution has evolved, and continues to do so.

In order to adapt to each state, “States must aim to create a constitution that is flexible and adaptable to potential changes” (3). They must determine that all subject matters are essential and must be kept simple so assist to not micromanage the government. ]]> 2018-01-26 12:56:28 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_roosa/tefjxupw0e1r/wish/225022621 megan_roosa https://padlet.com/megan_roosa/tefjxupw0e1r/wish/225133798 2018-01-26 16:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_roosa/tefjxupw0e1r/wish/225133798
