Detailed Solution

In a plebiscite-style political system, people approve or reject the legitimacy of a specific form of government or course of action.
A plebiscite is a vote by the whole populace of a nation or region to decide on a matter, such as the choice of a ruler or government, the option for independence or annexation by another power, or a matter of national policy. Voters in a plebiscite are asked to approve or reject the validity of a particular type of government or course of action rather than to select between other regimes or propositions. Plebiscites are seen as a means for a government to communicate with the public directly without intermediaries like political parties. Totalitarian regimes also use plebiscites to justify their rule since they provide a mechanism to claim a public mandate without formally endorsing an opposing party.
