Detailed Solution

A plebiscite means a direct vote by which all the people of a region are asked to accept or reject a proposal.
A vote or a proposal for legislation is made in a referendum or plebiscite. According to specific definitions, a plebiscite is a vote to alter the country's constitution or form of government. Thus plebiscite is a direct vote in which all voters are given the option of accepting or rejecting a proposition. A vote can therefore be taken into account to ratify the new constitution. Hence populace can exercise their right to national self-determination through this kind of election. Plebiscites are also often advisory and do not require a government to take action based on the results.
