I, p. 137. 361] REOPENING OF THE SEALED JAPAN if the sovereignty of the state be recognized. " But sover- eignty in the constitution, instead of antagonizing, protects individual liberty. The power of sovereignty, in making or amending a constitution, should be absolute and unlimited, since it operates not only as an initiative and preventive, but creates positively whatever it wishes. The theory of unlimited sovereignty has been maintained by progressive publicists, like Professors Burgess, La...band, Goodnow, and Hozumi. 2 Whatever the theory of sovereignty may be, the emperor alone has this supreme power in Japan. He also possesses all governmental powers, legislative, administra- tive and judicial, but exercises them with " self-limitations " according to the constitutional provisions. For example, the " civil liberty " of the people is constitutionally guaran- teed against governmental encroachment ; " every law " and " the expenditure of funds and the raising of revenue of the state" require " the consent of the imperial Diet;" "the imposition of a new tax or the modification of the rate shall be determined by law.
