National Plebiscite of 16 July 1927

The National Plebiscite of 16 July 1927 (French: Plébisciste national du 16 juillet 1927) is the common name for the National Plebiscite on the Constitution and Organic Laws of a New French Regime (French: Plébiscite national sur la constitution et lois organiques d'un nouveaux régime français) that was held on 16 July 1927.
The plebiscite followed the coup d'état of 25 May 1925 which overthrew the Third French Republic and installs the Regime of Marshals. After 2 years of governance under the thumb of the Military Committee of National Salvation and Preservation of the Empire (French: Comité militaire de sureté nationale et de préservation de l’Empire), the Constitutional Council (French: Conseil Constitutionnel) presented the new constitution of the French National and Social Republic, which was submitted for approval by plebiscite to the French people. This plebiscite was followed by the plebiscite of 1st September 1927, which placed Hubert Lyautey in power as National Chief.
The question posed to the French people of the metropolis and the colonies was as follows; ''The People approve the Constitution submitted by the Constitutional Council and the Military Committee of National Security and Preservation of the Empire'' (French: Le Peuple approuve la Constitution soumis par le Conseil Constitutionnel et le Comité militaire de sureté national et de préservation de l'Empire).
