BY LEGISLATION
-
Congress
or the
state legislature
may
pass a new law which replaces or
repeals
an existing law.
-
Congress or the state legislature may
repeal
or
abolish
a law without substituting
a new law.
-
Ohio voters, by the use of the
initiative
and
referendum, may repeal a law passed by the Ohio Legislature. Following a
petition
signed by the required number of voters the
State will place on the ballot
the law to which the voters are objecting. This will allow them to vote
final approval or
rejection
of the law in question. (By the same process,
voters may introduce a new law. This usually happens when lawmakers refuse to enact a law the people want.)
BY JUDICIAL REVIEW
Laws may be
ruled
unconstitutional
(contrary to the Constitution) by the Supreme Court of the United States or
Supreme Court of Ohio.
