Answer 1

Answer: He became little more than a figurehead.

Step-by-step explanation:

“Bakufu”means "an office in the tent," or “field headquarters”.This was in reference to the headquarters of a general on the battlefield which were meant to be temporary. Under the law, the “bakufu”or the shogunate was controlled by the emperor. The shogun’s authority was only limited the military forces of the country. However, as the feudal character of Japanese society increased, it generated a situation in which control of the military became synonymous of control of the country.Consequently, the emperor became little more than a figurehead;Just a symbol of sovereignty behind the shogun.
