Referendum question

The article at French constitutional referendum, 1958 implies that the same question, "Approuvez-vous la Constitution qui vous est proposée par le Gouvernement de la République?", was asked in all the colonies as well as in metropolitan France, but this doesn't mention independence, whereas this article says that the choice was between independence and the new constitution. What exactly was asked? --Taejo|대조 21:45, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I'm aware, independence was not specifically on the ballot paper, but it was what would happen if the constitution was rejected. Number 5 7 22:14, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
