A referendum (also known as a plebiscite or a vote on a ballot question) is a direct vote in which an entire electorate is asked to either accept or reject a particular proposal. This may result in the adoption of a new constitution, a constitutional amendment, a law, the recall of an elected official or simply a specific government policy. It is a form of direct democracy.
The word plebiscite comes from the Latin plebiscita, which originally meant a decree of the Concilium Plebis, the popular assembly of the Roman Republic. Referendums and referenda are both commonly used as plurals of referendum. However, the use of referenda is deprecated by the Oxford English Dictionary, which advises that:
In the United States, a plebiscite is typically known as an initiative when originating in a petition of ordinary citizens, and as a referendum only if it consists of a proposal referred to voters by the legislature. A plebiscite can be considered a kind of election and is often referred to as such in the U.S. (an election literally means a choice). In other countries, the term election is often reserved for events in which elected representatives are chosen.

Jak wiele anio³�³w
Musia³o p³akaæ
Jak wiele rzek
Trzeba by³o zawróciæ
Jak wielu ludzi
Musia³o zgin³�¦
Dla srebra i z³ota
Jak wiele dzieci
Musia³o umrzeæ
Jak wiele gór
Przesuniêto
Jak wiele dusz
Sprzedano
Za srebro i z³oto
Ale ziemia nam wybaczy
Jeste my tylko lud mi
Ona zawsze bêdzie z nami
Nawet gdy zap³on³ stosy
Za srebro i z³oto
Ale ziemia nam wybaczy
Jeste my tylko lud mi
Ona zawsze bêdzie z nami
Nawet gdy oddamy wszystko
