Constitutional Law - Kenpo Satsuyo

Japanese: 憲法撮要 - けんぽうさつよう

Book by Minobe Tatsukichi. Published in 1923. Along with Hozumi Yatsuka's Constitutional Principles (1910) and Sasaki Soichi's The Japanese Constitution: An Outline (1930), this is a representative constitutional textbook under the old constitution, characterized by its Emperor Organ Theory, liberal interpretation of the constitution, and teleological methodology. In 1935, the Emperor Organ Theory came under attack in the Imperial Diet and elsewhere, and in April, the book was banned from sale along with the author's Article-by-Article Constitutional Essence and Fundamental Principles of the Japanese Constitution.
