Which constitution did Ernest void after becoming king?
The Hanoverian Constitution
Göttingen Constitution
The Liberal Constitution
The Royal Charter
Answer
The Liberal Constitution, enacted in 1876 during the Meiji era, was abrogated by Emperor Ernest in 1890, shortly after his accession to the throne. The constitution, with its provisions for a representative government and civil rights, was seen as too liberal by Ernest and his conservative advisors.
