plebiscite
意味: A direct vote by the entire electorate of a country or region on an important public question, such as a change of sovereignty or constitutional reform.
Plebiscite is often used interchangeably with 'referendum,' though some political scientists distinguish between them: a plebiscite may refer specifically to a vote on sovereignty or territorial issues, while a referendum addresses policy questions. Historically, plebiscites have been used to legitimise changes of government or territorial transfers. The term carries a slightly more formal or academic tone than 'referendum.'
