The Meiji government set up the National Affair Police to investigate the plot of Shizoku rebellion,and later gave the National Affair Police which soon to be renamed as the Higher Police the function of regulating speech in order to suppress the Freedom and People's Rights Movement.Through the intelligence activities of the National Affair Police,the Meiji government and the Superintendent General kept track of the Civil Rights Faction,and instructed the National Affair Police to carry out countermeasures accordingly.Many activities of the National Affairs Police not only violated people's rights of freedom,but hindered the further development of modern Japanese democratic movements,and even exposed the essence of the Meiji government to maintain its political rule through suppression of civil rights and democratic movements by police.
