Question

how did the meiji constitution change the emperor’s role?
○ it gave complete government power to the emperor.
○ it made the emperor a figurehead with no role in government.
○ it forced the emperor to run for election every four years.
○ it limited the emperor’s power to pass new laws.

Explanation:

The Meiji Constitution established a constitutional monarchy. It didn't give the emperor complete power (so the first option is wrong), nor did it make him a figurehead with no role (the second is wrong) or force him to run for election (the third is wrong). It did limit his power to pass new laws, as legislative power was shared or restricted.

Answer:

It limited the emperor’s power to pass new laws.
