Abstract Referendum, plebiscite and initiative are synonyms. Due to their different historical origins, the three words are quite different in modern society and need to be clarified. This paper traces back to the origins of referendum, plebiscite and initiative and tries to dig out the content of such a system through the evolution of these words.
