Direct initiatives are distinguished by the fact that proposals are placed directly on the general election ballot.

Explanation:

Direct initiatives are considered to be good for the general public as they get to vote on each of the proposals put forward by the government. Direct initiative enables the citizens to exercise the power of representing themselves by registering an opinion on any given decision of the government. This authority of the citizens is seldom exercised by them as the government itself chooses to devise the inclination of the general public and take actions accordingly.
