General Membership Meeting

If an organization conducts all its business through general meetings of its members, but it has an Executive Committee (officers), do the members actually have the right/responsibility to conduct business (make motions and vote in their meetings) or can the Executive Committee restrict motions before the membership body only to those which it has initially reviewed and/or recommended? I'm not sure this is addressed anywhere in Robert's Rules of Order. Thank you.

First of all, an executive committee exists only if provided for in the bylaws. An executive committee is a type of board, and "A board within an organized society is an instrumentality of the society's full assembly, to which it is subordinate." (RONR 10th ed., p. 9)
