Emperor Go-Daigo restored the imperial house to power in 1333 in a revolution. He quickly removed the power from the Shogunate and the Daimyo and restored power to a civilian government. To start with he stripped all power from the military and set up a new panel of advisors to act as the imperial court. This court was made up of those who had supported Go-Daigo's revolution but advised him that an elected body would bring more stability to the nation. Therefore, Go-Daigo set up a new panel called the Diet that would be elected by anyone who owned land. He was not bound to listen to the Diet but it did give him access to the views of the nation. This system has continued since then although the emperor's power has decreased while the Diet's has increased.
