A statesman warns that initiative and referendum threaten representative government. He critiques Swiss practice, Arizona recall, and mass voting, arguing expert-led commissions work best and that recall and broad referendums erode accountability and decisive leadership.
The speaker argues against recalling judges via constitutional amendment or other recall powers. He warns such recalls threaten independence, invite mob rule, and undermine the judiciary as the guardian of law rather than a conduit for public opinion. He defends gradual constitutional growth and urges restraint from radical reforms.
