Question

1. a ____ is when a state legislature decides to allow the people of the state to vote directly on an issue.

indirect process

legislative referendum

popular referendum

resolution

Explanation:

A legislative referendum is defined as a process where a state legislature permits the state's people to vote directly on an issue. An indirect process doesn't involve direct public voting on the issue. A popular referendum is initiated by citizens (not the legislature) to challenge legislation. A resolution is a formal statement or decision by a legislative body, not about letting people vote directly on an issue. So the correct option is "legislative referendum".

Answer:

B. legislative referendum
