Problem: If we had to identify the 3 most glaring differences between the State (California) and the Federal political systems then the following would make the list: Direct Democracy mechanisms (initiative, recall, referendum) Amendment process for the State Constitution Unitary Political System within a Federal System If you were a policy and political system analyst would you recommend any of these to be implemented, or even considered, at the Federal level? For example, would you propose that the US switches to a Unitary system since it is working for the States? or adopt direct democracy mechanisms and make the US Constitution amendment process easier? Please make sure to engage in a thoughtful analysis and try to incorporate your overall understanding of the two systems (State and Federal)
