Amendment, Section 6

The people shall have the power to enforce the provisions of this Article by appropriate legislation. No court in the United States may enjoin an initiative election except on grounds of fraud.

Parrish Report

This section has the standard language of modern-day constitutional amendments stating that the "Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." The standard language is changed to substitute "People" for "Congress." This in no way precludes the Congress from also enacting appropriate legislation if it sees fit. The companion Democracy Act, packaged in the National Initiative with the Amendment, is the "appropriate legislation" that sponsors of the National Initiative feel adequately implements the vision and letter of the Amendment stated in Section 1.

This section goes on to address a major abuse in those states with initiative laws, where the courts are used to kill initiatives on specious constitutional grounds before the People ever get to see them. This practice by the courts gives elected politicians shelter from making unpopular public decisions. As is the case with all legislative bodies in this country, the court cannot invade the legislature, a separate and independent division of government, to prejudge the quality or legality of legislation it has under consideration. The "Legislature of the People" is accorded the same independence.
