:
: 1. On the form of government.
: There were four options: retain Grand
: Duchess Charlotte, change to a republic,
: replace Grand Duchess Charlotte with another
: member of the family, retain a monarchical
: form of government but with a different
: dynasty.
:
: The result was 77% in favour of retaining
: Grand Duchess Charlotte.
:
: 2. On economic union.
: There were two options: with France, or with
: Belgium.
:
: The result was 73% in favour of with France.
