The Constitution of Japan, promulgated by the National Diet of Japan in 1947, is the nation's own foundational legal text. As the primary legal instrument itself, it is fully authoritative for what the constitution actually provides, which is the fact this atlas cites it for. It is the law itself, not independent legal or historical commentary on how it has been interpreted or applied since, which needs its own separate scholarly or judicial source.
