Thread 1

 Arizona citizens retain several very progressive rights, namely the right to initiative, referendum, recall of elected officials, recall of judges, election of corporation commissioners and election of a state mine inspector. Please select three of these democratic rights and make an argument as to why giving power directly to the people in this manner is a benefit for all of society. 

Thread 2

 Article XI of the Constitution states that the Legislature is responsible for providing and maintaining a uniform public school system. Do you consider Arizonas public school system to be uniform? Why or why not?
