Martin Luther King Jr. opined,, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
i agree, and I paraphrase it to say, “The arc of the political universe is long, but it bends toward democracy.”
A bit of America’s history supports my view. The states whose voters have direct democracy — the direct initiative, the voter referendum, and recall — are those that most recently became states.
