    Propositions are legislation; specifically, they are one of: (1) initiatives which are exercises of legislative power reserved by the people to adopt a law initiated by citizen petition, (2) referenda which are exercises of legislative power reserved by the people to approve or reject measures passed by the legislature, either with the assent of or over the veto of the governor. (3) legislation referred to the people by the legislature (often because it would impact a previously passed initiative statute in a manner which the legislature has not been delegated the power to do without popular assent.)
