Answer (2)

The new Japanese constitution, effective in 1947, includes Article 9, which prohibits Japan from having a military and maintaining war potential. It does not contain clauses regarding alliances with the US or mandatory voting. Japan's approach to defense heavily relies on its partnership with the US, defined through agreements rather than constitutional enforcements. ;
