Seventeen-article constitution 十七条憲法 Sincerely reverence the three treasures: the Buddha, the Law, and the
Priesthood. When you receive the Imperial commands, fail not scrupulously to obey
them. The Ministers and functionaries should make decorous behavior their
leading principle, for the leading principle of the government of the people consists in decorous behavior.
Chastise that which is evil and encourage that which is good. To turn away from that which is private, and to set our faces toward that
which is public Let every man have his own charge, and let not the spheres of duty be
confused. Decisions on important matters should not be made by one person
alone.
