Government by referendum

I’ve thought about the system of judges among the Nephites but I never really thought of the implications before. They were governed by existing law but the people could put anything up for a bit as they were to conduct their society “by the voice of the people.”

Amlici used that to try to become king and he nearly succeeded. He laid the groundwork by becoming popular before they called for a vote on the matter.
