Imperial Constitution - Kinteikenpo

Japanese: 欽定憲法 - きんていけんぽう
Imperial Constitution - Kinteikenpo

A constitution enacted by a monarch. A type of written constitution distinguished by the entity that enacted it, as opposed to a civil constitution. It is given to the people as a benefit by the unilateral will of the monarch, based on the principle of monarchical sovereignty. Constitutions created during reactionary periods under absolute monarchies to suppress rising public opinion, such as the French Constitution of 1814 (Louis XVIII), the Prussian Constitution of 1850, and the Constitution of the Empire of Japan of 1889 (Meiji 22), belong to this category.
