Just because one disagrees with the will of the majority does not make the majority's will illegitimate.

I'm not sure what you mean by "illegitimate." The majority can be fickle and incorrect. I prefer to live in a Constitutional, representative republic. Anyone suggesting otherwise needs to provide a real good argument for changing our forms of government.

Proposition 13 passed by a popular vote. That was a good thing. I think having the masses directly participate on key issues through the ballot keeps them involved and keeps elected representatives looking over their shoulder.
