1.	What is referendum? Name any three countries with this provision (30 words )
Answer» The referendum allows citizens, through the petition\xa0process, to refer acts of the Legislature to the ballot before they become law. The referendum also permits the Legislature itself to refer proposed legislation to the electorate for approval or rejection.\xa0For\xa0example, Australia defines \'referendum\' as a vote to change the constitution, and \'plebiscite\' as a vote that does not affect the constitution. In contrast, Ireland has only ever held one plebiscite, which was the vote to adopt its constitution, and every other vote has been called a\xa0referendum.
