This measure was taken due to the peasants' demands, however it brought bad effects that many residents lost the right to vote, and that some villages could not have the next chiefs since nobody could not run for chief in fact (in those days it was necessary to have paid a certain amount of direct taxes to have the right to vote).
これは農民の要求を受け入れたものだが、この措置のおかげで選挙権を失うものが続出、誰も立候補できずに村長が選べない村も出るという弊害も生まれた（当時は一定額の直接税を納めないと選挙権が得られなかった）。
