All of those were done by representatives and not the electorate though?

  That's a pretty thin technicality. In many places those were majority opinions and the representatives were doing exactly what their electorate wanted them to do. If you'd like, I'm sure there are referendums and initiatives that are directly voted on that I could dig up. A quick search in my local area says WA initiative 192 was a case where the majority chose to deplete a shared resource (salmon) and failed to protect minority interests.
