Why const reference is allowed to assign a value but non const isn't? [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

• Literal initialization for const references 3 answers

1. const int& i = 5;
2. int& i = 5;

Why the 1st line is allowed but the 2nd line isn't? The explanation for the second may be that we can't assign a rvalue to a lvalue reference. Is it correct?
