Answer 1

Answer:

D is the correct option

Explanation:

The Seventeen Article Constitution is the code of moral perception for the Japanese class. It was issued in 604 CE by the ruler Shotoku Taishi, He brought Chinese based centralized reforms in Japanese administration.

The " Seventeen Article Constitution" acted as instructions to the Japanese ruling class in Confucian Ethical concepts and the Chinese Bureaucratic System. These were considered to be ideal for the  Japanese Government.

The authenticity of the work of Shotoku is questionable as some historians consider it to be a later forgery. Historians claim that the document represents his thinking and as a result of his influence.

Shotoku was best known for his irrigation and social welfare works and works for Buddhism.
