Difference between referendum and genersl election

Referendum: This is a direct vote in which an entire electorate is asked to either accept or reject a particular proposal, issue or question. A referendum may result in the adoption of a new constitution, a constitutional amendment, a law, the recall of an elected official or a specific government policy. It could be simply be where voters decide on what time pubs shut, how long shops stay open etc.

Genersl:This is a formal decision making process by which members of the population (voters) elect a representative. This could be for numerous things, we are familiar with government and political parties but it also applies to other areas.  We use elections in our unions, governing bodies whether they are in education or the NHS, business organisations, clubs, voluntary associations and corporations too.  Elections ensure positions are voted in and filled with law-makers, decision-makers and governance.

Correct me if im wrong.

facts: the 14th amendment

the 14th amendment addresses citizenship rights and equal protection of the laws.

the 14th amendment was intended to protect the rights of former slaves after the american civil war.

the 14th amendment was approved by congress in june of 1866 and ratified by the states on july 9, 1868.

the 14th amendment establishes that all persons born in the united states are citizens and are guaranteed all the rights of citizenship.

the 14th amendment establishes that the law protects all citizens equally.

in this case the passage of the 14th amendment   that was violated was the last part in which it states that there is equal protection of the law.

jacksonian era promoted strength of the presidency and executive branch at the expense of congress. it also sought to broaden the public's participation in government. the jacksonian's demanded to have elected judges, instead of appointed judges, and rewrote many state constitutions to reflect the new values. hope this ! if you did find it would you mind giving me brainliest? : )
