At the end of July, the subcommittee turned to the bill of rights: Article 20, banning “religious education”; Article 24, on marriage and the family; Articles 25–28, to which the Social Democrats sought to add a guarantee of “minimum standards” of living, and Articles 31–40, dealing with the rights of accused persons. Ch. 17 analyzes these deliberations. The subcommittee's work produced intense sparring between Yoshida and Ashida around the issue of the imperial family's property. GHQ, in the person of Colonel Kades, kept close watch over these deliberations.Less

Recounts the climax in the House of Representatives over constitutional revision. (In Japan's new democratic dispensation, the popularly elected lower house had controlling power.) Ch. 18 tells how the two major parties in the conservative governing coalition (Liberals and Progressive Democrats) became actively involved in negotiations over the exact terms of Article 9, renouncing war and armed forces, and the disposition of imperial property. It also recounts how Colonel Kades, somewhat reluctantly, brought forward several amendments demanded by the Allied member‐nations on the Far Eastern Commission, including one providing that only “civilians” could serve in the cabinet. Finally, it summarizes the proceedings of Saturday, August 24, a time for soaring eloquence and the final vote in the House of Representatives.Less

The role of imperial property in the working of the Roman economy is unique when compared with the role it played in other empires in history. Its peculiarity stems from the ways in which it was originally formed and more generally from the ways in which the new imperial order was established. The ambivalent position of the princeps, who was neither a magistrate nor simply a private person, was reflected in the ambivalent position of his patrimonium, the property of a private individual that was used to meet ‘public’ ends. This can explain why imperial property was always run through the very instruments adopted by private people in managing their property, and why the economic scenario in which the emperor acted did not radically change in consequence of his presence. Neither did this situation change with the ‘crisis’ of the third century and the new political organization which emerged from it.Less
