The following excerpt is from Fair Political Practices Com. v. Superior Court, 157 Cal.Rptr. 855, 25 Cal.3d 33, 599 P.2d 46 (Cal. 1979):
It has now been more than 30 years since this court, in the case of McFadden v. Jordan (1948) 32 Cal.2d 330, 196 P.2d 787, carefully laid to rest the notion that the initiative power of the people, by virtue of its unique and precious nature as well as its constitutional source, is to be considered free of all constitutional constraints on its exercise. In my view the majority, by applying the single subject rule in a manner which is tantamount to its nullification, has today taken a significant step toward the resurrection of that notion.
