The same way public petition work, if a law is needed people will campain around the issue and among thoose people some will draft legislation that could be made into law.
So in this system, would all citizens have to vote on a bill in order for it to become law? How would it be determined that a law is valid/good enough to be brought up for a vote? You could imagine thousands of proposed bills each year. And certainly most citizens wouldn’t pay the kind of attention you’d hope would be given to legislation affecting the entire nation, even if it was only a hundred bills.
I do like the idea of a referendum, where if you get enough signatures then it goes up for vote to the entire electorate. But I think that needs to be in tandem with professional legislators.

Sorry, things happened in my life and I’m not able to dedicate energy to talk about direct democracy.
I know it’s in french but it’s a really good ressource : https://ddirecte.org/
Thank you, talk to you about democracy was fun ^^
