While drafting the constitution, which country did Itō Hirobumi find too liberal?

  • United States

  • Austria

  • France

  • United Kingdom

Answer

Itō Hirobumi found the United States to be too liberal while drafting the constitution because he felt that the American system was too democratic. He believed that the Japanese people were not ready for such a system and that it would lead to instability and chaos. Instead, he favored a more conservative system that would give the government more power and would not be as easily swayed by public opinion.
