Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject History – Asia, grade: 1, University of Alaska Fairbanks, course: HIST F434, language: English, abstract: (…) In theory, it was a decent compromise between a king and his subjects.

The emperor was by default infallible, therefore could not be held responsible; in theory it was the government by countersignature, but in reality, nobody could be held there responsible either as nobody had any official authority.

But for now, the revolutionists of the Meiji restoration were able to master the balancing act between spiritual commitment and worldly necessity.
