The Meiji Restoration in Japan marked the overthrow of the Shogunate. The Shogunate was a military governor of Japan. Though in principle Shoguns had to be appointed by the Emperor, in practice their power passed from father to son or seized control of the government through military force. This arrangement effectively removed the Emperor from the structures of power. The Meiji Restoration made the Emperor the head of the government, though he did not direct governmental affairs. The government of Japan ceased to be a hereditary position, as it had been under the Shogunate. The emperor ruled Japan through a series of governments chosen by his subjects, similar to the constitutional monarchy of Great Britain.
