This chapter considers developments in Japan’s parliamentary and constitutional systems from the beginning of the Meiji period in 1868. It assesses the significance of the Iwakura Mission to the West and how this influenced public discourse on the need for Japan to transform itself into a constitutional state. It also explains why Itō Hirobumi is typically regarded as the father of the Meiji Constitution (although Inoue Kowashi drafted it), and deems the newly established constitutional system of world significance.
