The Constitution of Japan is based on the democracy of the United States, and has been thoroughly examined by the Japanese people involved in the establishment of the Constitution of Japan at that time. 　The debate over the revision of the Constitution has come up again, but the point is in the emergency clause and the concentration of power. Japanese people should defend the Peace Constitution and maintain an exclusively defense -oriented policy so that it will not become a totalitarian nation like China and North Korea.

Looking at Japan's share of the world's GDP (gross domestic product) in terms of purchasing power parity, it peaked at 9% in 1991 and is now just over 4%, so it has decreased to less than half.

8.  Totalitarianism: One of the ideas or political systems that does not allow the existence of political parties that oppose the government and prohibits individuals from disagreeing with the government. States that adopt this regime are usually dominated by an individual, partisan or class, have no restrictions on their authority, and strive to regulate as much as possible on all aspects of national life, both public and private.  In political science it is an extreme form of authoritarian regime. Usually, unlike mere dictatorship or despotism, not only "the whole interest is prioritized over the individual's interest", but also the personal life of the individual is positively or forcibly subordinated to the whole. The antonym of totalitarianism is individualism, and the antonym of authoritarianism is democracy. (Internet information)
