 This three-party coalition ("Goken Sampa Naikaku") was the first ruling coalition government in Japanese history, and used its majority to focus on domestic political reform and a moderate foreign policy.It pushed strongly for rule under the Meiji Constitution, without influence or control by the "genrō".It also favored universal male suffrage (which led to the General Election Law) and much needed reforms in labor laws and in the economic situation for farmers.
