Thai Opposition Leader Defends Support for Lese-Majeste Law Change
“Since the 2020-21 protests, the Thai establishment has sought to reinstate the political taboo against any critical discussion of the monarchy. It has wielded Article 112 prosecutions to silence scores of leaders and participants in the 2020-21 protests; at least 274 people faced lese-majeste charges as of September, according to the advocacy group Thai Lawyers for Human Rights. It has also pursued anyone advocating the removal or amendment of the lese-majeste law.”

In the United States, citizens do not vote directly on most federal government spending or tax decisions, as these powers are primarily handled by elected representatives in Congress. However, they do have indirect influence through elections, where they can choose representatives who align with their views on fiscal policies.
On a state and local level, citizens have more opportunities to vote directly on certain spending and tax issues, particularly through ballot initiatives and referendums. Many states allow voters to approve or reject specific tax proposals, bond measures for public projects, or changes to state spending limits.
