The Japanese Constitution guarantees freedom of expression, freedom of speech and democracy. It very clearly also highlights the fact that freedom of expression MUST be respected. Shinzo Abe respects that very much and believes in it more than anything. Japan doesn't approve of hate speech but there is also no rule against it. The Constitution provides freedom of religion and marriage regardless of what gender you prefer. It's fair to say that Japan is a pretty caring and inclusive country. Japan provides all basic rights that everyone should alwasy have.]]> 2019-01-25 21:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliyah_koebrick/53useqx1oj2p/wish/324513084 aaliyah_koebrick https://padlet.com/aaliyah_koebrick/53useqx1oj2p/wish/324513768 "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Japan" One very prevalent thing I found when researching Japan's laws was the fact that people thought their laws were crazy and out of the box compared to laws in Europe or the United States. It's fair to say that Japan is more reserved, polite and courteous than other countries and their laws reflect that. Japan has a zero tolerance policy against all drug related offenses and severe punishment comes with drug crime. Although Japanese people aren't completely accustomed or accepting of gay marriage it is legal. The legal driving age is 18, voting age is 20, drinking age is 20 and a person under 20 years of age cannot be married without both parent's consent. In Japan it's forbidden to throw away money or damage it, for if you do you could be fined a lot of money or sent to prison for an entire year. That was only one of those crazy laws I told you about earlier. You can't brew alchohol with a percentage higher than 1 at home. Foreigners must have their passports on them at all times. Smoking is allowed in most indoor places but not all outdoor places. Drinking on the street is legal in Japan. These are only a few of the many strange laws in the country of Japan.

I call it the "Japanese Parliament" because Japan has a Parliamentary System similar to that of England. During Japan's election time the House of Representatives gets together, takes the people's majority vote and then elects a Prime Minister. A Prime Minister is the head of Japan's government and a leader of the majority party. To be fair and ethical, a new Prime Minister arises every four years. The current Prime Minister of Japan is Shinzo Abe.

To date, 62 people have assumed the position as Prime Minister of Japan. The first Prime Minister was Ito Hirobumi. He led Japan during 1885. Personally, I think that Japan's leader system is a great and fair one for everyone. Nobody can stay in power for too long and the person in charge is always someone chosen by the people of the country rather than slimy and corrupt government officials.]]> 2019-01-25 21:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliyah_koebrick/53useqx1oj2p/wish/324513807 aaliyah_koebrick https://padlet.com/aaliyah_koebrick/53useqx1oj2p/wish/324513828 "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_Japan" Japan's government is very much like a mix of US government and British government in that it is a Constitutional Monarchy with three branches: Legislative, Judiciary and executive. Japan also has an emperor but he is only in charge of ceremonial duties. Japan is considered to be a democratic country. This is evident in all of their new innovations, technology, environmental consciousness and belief that all are equal. In Japan the economic situation is considered to be good. The judicial branch is headed by the Saiko Saibansho. The legislative branch is the National Diet. The executive branch of the Japanese Government consists of the Prime Minister and the Cabinet of Ministers.]]> 2019-01-25 21:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliyah_koebrick/53useqx1oj2p/wish/324513828 aaliyah_koebrick https://padlet.com/aaliyah_koebrick/53useqx1oj2p/wish/324513885 In very many ways Japan's government is similar to that of America. It has the same structure of government as it has an executive, judicial and legislative branch. It is also similar because the process of electing a leader is the same and both a Prime Minister and President of the US can stay in office for a total of four years. In Japan the Cabinet is appointed by the Prime Minister, while in the United States the Cabinet is appointed by with President with Senate's approval. Both political parties from each country are democratic. Although Japanese and US government are very similar there are a few core differences. All countries feel political pressure. In Japan this pressure comes from strong business groups and trade unions. In The United States this relentless pressure comes from environmentalists, churches, trade unions, business groups, ethnic groups, PACs, health groups, education groups, youth groups, transportation groups, veterans groups, reform groups and civics groups.]]> 2019-01-25 21:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliyah_koebrick/53useqx1oj2p/wish/324513885
