What is the historical significance of the passing of the Oregon referendum laws?

In Oregon, the initiative and referendum process dates back to 1902 when the Oregon electorate overwhelmingly approved a legislatively referred ballot measure. This measure enabled Oregon citizens to directly initiate amendments to the Oregon state constitution, as well as enact new state statutes. The same ballot measure also enabled the right of referendum, which enabled Oregon citizens to overturn statutes or laws passed by the Oregon legislature.

In Oregon, the initiative and referendum process dates back to 1902 when the Oregon electorate overwhelmingly approved a legislatively referred ballot measure. This measure enabled Oregon citizens to directly initiate amendments to the Oregon state constitution, as well as enact new state statutes. The same ballot measure also enabled the right of referendum, which enabled Oregon citizens to overturn statutes or laws passed by the Oregon legislature.

This was the first time the Oregon Constitution had been amended since 1859. The process of initiative and referendum became nationally known as the Oregon System.

In 1908, the Oregon constitution was amended to include recall of public officials.

Oregon, so far, holds the records for the most statewide initiatives--there were 384 between 1904 and 2014--the highest average initiative use, and the most statewide initiatives on the ballot in a single year: 27 in 1912.
