Detailed Solution

A direct vote by which all people of a region are asked to accept or reject a proposal is called a plebiscite.
Some definitions of plebiscites suggest that it is a kind of vote that changes the constitution or government of the country. Others define it as the opposite. Australia defines 'plebiscite' as a constitutional vote and 'referendum' as a vote that does not affect the constitution. It usually depends on the history and constitution of the country and what kind of referendum is used. In Switzerland, a referendum is usually mandatory, as people are seen as the source of the government's mandate to govern. For example, the country used a national referendum for voting during Switzerland's original income campaign.
