    The correct answer is:

    An initiative allows voters to propose a new law, while a referendum allows a voter to change a new law recently passed by the legislature.

    The tradition of initiative and referendum in Michigan dates back to the Progressive Era (1854-1932). It was the time when almost every states that have these provisions implemented the initiative / referendum.

    The right of initiative is defined in the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 as: The power to propose laws and to enact and reject laws; While the people's right of referendum is defined as: The power to approve or reject laws.

    Both terms became part of the constitution of 1908 as a result of a 1913 amendment.
