Paragraph 139
 

Article 182 distinguishes four types of national referendums – constitutional, legislative, on dismissal of the President and a consultative referendum. This seems to mean that constitutional and legislative referendums are binding and specifically worded, while consultative referendums would be generally worded or on a question of principle – possibly of a constitutional nature. This could however be made more explicit.
