The motto of the era was “Enrich the Country and Strengthen the Military” and at the helm of this effort was Emperor Meiji.
"With Emperor Meiji’s ascension to the throne in 1867, japan theoretically restored power to the emperor, but because he was only 15 years old he had little governing power. Instead, the power rested with the new government consisting of a small, close-knit cabinet of advisers. This new cabinet immediately began implementing a series of reforms to both strengthen and unify Japan. One of their largest concerns was that Japan would not be able to regain its sovereignty if it did not modernize. With the recent display of the superior armament of the United States military with Commodore Perry in 1853, such concerns were not unfounded.
The goals of the early leaders of the Meiji era were ambitious, as they established new economic, political, and social institutions that governed Japan through World War II. The majority of these reforms were greatly influenced by the West, but they never deviated significantly from Japan’s cultural and historical roots. Perhaps most dramatically, it abolished the old system of a social hierarchy based on inherited status. For example, samurai, who historically were recognized as a warrior class, could now be farmers and engage in trade and commerce, and townspeople could now join Japan’s new army." - can be found in this article https://www.facinghistory.org/nanjing-atrocities/nation-building/meiji-period-japan
Hilda's case is a classic example of dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality disorder). Individual with disorder of identity has two or more identities, two or more personality states, which alternately take control of him. This disorder also includes memory gaps, which can not be explained in limits of "normal" oblivion.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
I am going to take into consideration the 1st. Amendment to the United States Constitution.
It is true that the federal government must often balance protecting individual liberties and providing for order and security. We have seen how, at times, priority is given to one over the other, depending on the circumstances.
However, according to my thinking and belief systems, the federal government should always place more emphasis on protecting individual liberties. Just when the exceptional case is necessary, then the federal government must provide for order and security.
As stated in the 1st. Amendment, citizens must always have their freedom of speech and freely express what they believe is right; this includes reasonable critics of the economic and political systems, as well as to highlight positive attributes too.
Respecting the differences has always been a trademark for true democracies.
It is understandable that in times of conflict, as was the case of WWI and WWII, the government has put restrictions on certain liberties.
Some would say that the September 11 attacks justify the creation of the type of surveillance the government placed on the citizens, but that is when a fine line was crossed between protection and "espionage" without the consent of the citizens.
