Question

Which form of government is at work in Japan?

Answer 1

Japan operates under a parliamentary system of government. It is a constitutional monarchy where the Emperor is the symbolic head of state, with no executive powers. The Prime Minister is the head of government and holds executive power. The Prime Minister is elected by the National Diet (Japan's bicameral legislature), and the government is accountable to the legislature. The system is characterized by a fusion of powers between the executive and legislative branches, with the Prime Minister and Cabinet responsible to the Diet.
