N2  - "The Constitution of Japan, 1946" by Japan is a constitution adopted in 1946. Written primarily by American officials during the postwar occupation, this supreme law transformed Japan's political system. It establishes popular sovereignty, reducing the Emperor to a ceremonial symbol, and includes the renowned Article 9, which renounces war and military forces. Born from the ashes of World War II under General MacArthur's direction, this brief document guarantees individual rights and parliamentary democracy. Despite decades of pressure for revision, it remains the world's oldest unamended constitution. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
