The 'checks and balances' of the federal government are the only thing that keeps us marginally on the safe side of 'majority raping the minority every chance it gets'.
If we had federal referendums there would be nothing stopping the majority population(s) from legalizing and delegalizing anything it wanted. We need the sieve that is the POTUS/SCOTUS/Congress to protect us from ourselves, oddly enough.
