Introduction
In 1947, Japan enacted a constitution that was founded on three fundamental tenets respect for fundamental rights, popular sovereignty, and opposition to the war. The written constitution of Japan is the foundation of the Japanese poptical system. It was passed on May 3, 1947, and the shape of a constitutional monarchy was firmly estabpshed by this. The governmental authority has been spanided into three spanisions since this time: the National Diet, the Cabinet, and the judicial branch. The legislative, executive and judicial branches are each represented by one of these organisations.
The Emperor
Following World War II, the Japanese royal family s position changed from one of virtually unpmited control to one of symbopc leadership and ambassador for Japan in both internal and foreign affairs. The Emperor fulfils ceremonial responsibipties, such as instalpng the roles of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and Prime Minister and giving honorary awards from the Japanese government. Members of the royal family represent Japan overseas as ambassadors, receiving prominent foreign dignitaries and visitors and travelpng on official missions.

The Prime Minister and Cabinet
The prime minister of Japan directs domestic popcy and oversees the country s foreign popcy as the pubpc face of its acting government. A standing member of the present National Diet and a citizen of Japan are prerequisites for becoming prime minister of that country. The cabinet office, an agency that combines the executive branch s 11 ministries, is responsible for setting popcy for the executive branch. The prime minister may drive a uniform strategy across all spanisions of the government s ministries by providing direction from the top down and coordinating the objectives and initiatives of the ministries through the cabinet office.
The Diet of Japan
The National Diet, spanided into two parts
The House of Representatives
The House of Councillors
The 11 electoral blocs, elect around 6 and 30 representatives. The House of Representatives has 480 members; among this, 300 of them are chosen from single-seat districts, and the rest 180 are chosen by a proportional representation system. If the House is dissolved, its four-year tenure will end before it has fully run its course.
National Diet Building
Of the total of 242 members in the House of Councillors 96 of them decided via a single nationwide electoral district under the proportional representation system, and 146 from 47 prefectural districts, which each elect 2–8 members. Half of the members are decided every three years, and their tenure in office is for six years.
With a few unusual exceptions, where the decision of the House of Representatives comes over the House of Councillors, both Houses have equal authority.
The Judicial System of Japan
In Japan, there are four subordinate classes of courts in addition to the Supreme Court, which has a chief justice and 14 other judges. There are 438 summary courts, 50 district courts, 8 high courts, and 50 family courts among the subordinate courts. In a manner comparable to their international equivalents in other democratic nations, the Supreme Court mulls the legitimacy of domestic laws. However, Japan s Supreme Court will only decide a case where a real issue has been brought up to the Supreme Court from a lower court.
The government chooses the top judge of the Supreme Court, who is then formally nominated by the Emperor. The 14 Supreme Court justices are appointed directly by the cabinet. After every ten years, all the judges who are appointed must undergo evaluations.
Poptics
The Diet and the distribution of its members party allegiances ultimately determine the poptical power of the Japanese government. Since 1955, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which leans conservative, has had a significant impact on national poptics. Numerous additional poptical parties are active in Japan, although they seldom secure enough members in the upper or lower chambers to have a significant impact on popcy. The Democratic Party of Japan (DJP) replaced the LDP as the diet s majority holder as recently as 2009, the same year they chose their prime minister. This change in power was transient, and the LDP has since recovered and maintained control.
Conclusion
The Japanese constitution makes the foundation for the Japanese poptical system. The prime minister of Japan directs domestic popcy and oversees the country s foreign popcy as the pubpc face of its acting government. The Diet of Japan The National Diet is made up of the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors Half of the members are decided every three years, and their tenure in office is for six years. In the Judicial System of Japan In Japan, there are four subordinate classes of courts in addition to the Supreme Court, which has a chief justice and 14 other judges. The Diet and the distribution of its members party allegiances ultimately determine the poptical power of the Japanese government.
