"The Constitution of the Empire of Japan, 1889" by Japan is a pivotal legal document that establishes the framework for governance, emphasizing the sovereignty of the Emperor and the delineation of civil liberties. With its focus on the separation of powers and the protection of "unalienable rights," this constitution marked a significant shift towards a constitutional monarchy. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this document not only reflects Japan's transformation during the Meiji era but also serves as a foundation for understanding contemporary Japanese governance. Explore the principles that shaped a nation and continue to influence its identity today.
