Japan is the correct answer. In the late 1800s, Japan underwent a period of significant political and social change known as the Meiji Restoration. During this time, Japan adopted democratic reforms and implemented a new constitution in 1889. The Meiji government aimed to modernize Japan and establish a centralized government system based on Western models. The new constitution established a parliamentary government, granting limited powers to the emperor and establishing a bicameral legislature. This allowed for greater political participation and representation for the Japanese people. As a result, Japan experienced rapid industrialization, modernization, and became a major world power in the 20th century.
