*''Date: [[1868]]/int.4/27''
*''Japanese'': 政体書 ''(seitaisho)''
The ''Seitaisho'', or "Document on the Form of Government," was issued by the [[Meiji government]] on [[1868]]/int.4/27, and elaborated upon the [[Charter Oath]] of several months previous, laying out the governmental structures within which (or by which) the Charter Oath would be implemented.
The ''Seitaisho'' delineates that power would be held by the Council of State (''[[Dajokan|Dajôkan]]''), and that government would be divided into executive, legislative, and judicial branches. It also details methods by which members of the legislature would be selected.
