The EBR provides too much deference to the legislative branch of government and does not comport with the constitutional doctrine of separation of powers among three, co-equal branches of government. At least for California purposes, the EBR principle should be limited.

New Zealand’s own constitution shifted a little in a similar direction in 2015 (though not so seismically), and Parliament is now exploring how to adjust to the new landscape.
The change was caused by a court case between a prisoner and the crown (Taylor v Attorney General) about the right to vote. In its decision the High Court decided it had the right to declare a law inconsistent with another nominally ‘higher’ law, the Bill of Rights.
The then government appealed that adoption of a new power but the Supreme Court agreed with the earlier decision. And hey presto - slightly different constitutional landscape.
