Research Abstract |
In investigating the Local Government Reforms in 1920(Taisho 10), 1926(Taisho 15)and 1929(Showa 4)related to the legislation of Universal Manhood Suffrage and Peace Preservation Law(1925), we concluded as follows. (1)Those reforms and legistlations were closely related one another. (2)By the Local Government Reforms in 1926 and 1929(especially by the refores of the Town and Village System in 1929), the system that the government had tried to build since the Town and Village system in the 1911(Meiji 44)in order to keep the people under perfect control was nearly perfected. (3)The Mediation Law of Peasantry Dispute(1923)and the Mediation Law of Labor Dispute(1926)assisted this system in suppressing the labor and peasant movement which could not be controlled by this system. (4)The anti-government movement which neither this system nor these mediation laws could control were suppressed by the public order legistlations, especially by Peace Preservation Law. The above-mentioned legal structure was the one of the State of Japanese Imperialism from the Taisho Era to the Showa Era.
