Reformers seeking ways to get around city bosses, state legislators, and political parties try a variety of tactics. Some western states adopt an initiative process that empowers voters to write their own laws and put them to a vote of the people in a general election. Special interest groups lobby for social reforms, often engaging the political process outside the party system. The right to petition government, to try to affect what your government does to you or for you, is a fundamental part of the First Amendment to the Constitution.
