I believe that Article 9 in the Constitution of Japan makes it one of the greatest laws in the world. Article 9 of the Constitution of Japan was made to maintain the peace in Japan and other Asian Pacific countries as well as the other countries in the world. Ander Article 9 , any war potentials including land, sea, and air force would never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized. This means that we have very minimal military.In fact, the effectiveness of Article 9 is tremendous while other developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdum and France have been experiencing the madness of the war and the terrorism for the recent 30 years. Japan was the only country that successfully avoided the damages and tragedy from that. It is extremely clear that if we look into the history of the US and that of Japan in the past 30 years. The US has got involved in several wars and terroristic attacks such as Vietnamese war, the Gulf war, 9.11, and the Iraqi war. On the other hand, Japan, being the closest ally of the US, did not even send our Self-Defense Force to any of these wars that the US got involved in. We neither killed anyone on the lands of Iraq o and Vietnam, nor earned any of the feelings of vengeance. We also did not get attacked and lose our people in these wars. This clearly tells us that Article 9 let us avoid the disastrous history while being the best friend of the US.
I am majoring in Law in the university and I only started to know about the Constitution of Japan after studying in the university. I am now still in the progress of learning the Constitution of Japan and I notice that Japan has the greatest Constitution that we should be proud of. However, it is very difficult for everyone to understand the Constitution of Japan in details. I think that in order to improve our law system, the most important thing is that we need to understand the Constitution of Japan. I hope to encourage everyone to gain knowledge about the Japanese law through social media like TV and newspaper. From the law-related news, people would start being interested in law and therefore the Constitution of Japan. If we know it better, we would be able to further improve our law system.
