Petition Movement for the Establishment of a Taiwanese Parliament

It was initiated by the New People Society (新民會), an organization founded by Taiwanese students studying in Japan, to advocate for the establishment of an autonomous parliament in Taiwan through petitions to the Japanese Imperial Diet.

At that time, newspaper editor Lin Cheng-lu (林呈祿) believed that the authoritarian system established by the Law 63 undermined Taiwan's uniqueness and independence.

Based on the spirit of Japanese constitutional politics, he proposed shifting the direction of the movement towards advocating for the establishment of a Taiwanese parliament to restore legislative authority to the people from the Taiwan Governor-General's Office.

However, it was banned by Taiwan Governor-General Den Kenjiro due to concerns about its impact on social order, leading to the Incident of Security Maintenance (治警事件).

However, after the dissolution of the Taiwanese People's Party (台灣民眾黨) in 1931 and the fascist suppression from the Japanese colonial government, the movement was officially terminated in 1934 due to the loss of supporting organizations.
