Solution

The correct option is E created a legislature to balance the existing monarchy.
The 1887 constitution, also known as the Bayonet constitution took away the previous privileges enjoyed by the king, where he could act without the consent of his cabinet and gave the legislature controlled by the Americans the power to dismiss the cabinet, which was earlier vested with the king.
