KONO Hironaka, Summer of 1890(Meiji 23) Papers of KONO Hironaka, Document #1595

Energized by the Daido Danketsu (Grand Coalition) Movement, momentum, was increased for a regrouping of the People's Right factions. Three factions of the old Liberal Party, the Daido Club, the Saiko (Revived) Liberal Party, and the second Aikoku Koto (Public Party of Patriots) joined by the Kyushu Alliance of Comrades formed the Constitutional Liberal Party on 15 September 1890 (Meiji 23). The following year, its name was changed to simply the Liberal Party.

This document lists the items that were to be studied and deliberated upon by the Constitutional Liberal Party, including revisions of the Newspaper and Assembly Ordinances, the expansion the franchise, the restoration of Japan's right to impose customs duties, the expansion of educational opportunities, the creation of a business tax, and the reduction of land taxes. They indicate the orientation of the Party at the time. Each of those items was assigned to a single individual for further study, including HOSHI Toru, KONO Hironaka, UEKI Emori, and other major figures in the Party.
