Answer -
The Japanese Constitution could not have had any provision that the US government did not like, after the defeat of Japan in Second World War (1939-1945), due to fact that Constitution seeks to perform the functions and look after the interest of the rulers or authorities in the country who has occupied it. But, in a democratic country, a constitution expresses the fundamental identity of people as in India.
Indian experience was different from the experience of Japan in the following manner:
- The Indian Constitution was framed by the Constituent Assembly which was elected to aspire India to be a society free of any sort of discrimination among people.
- The framers of Indian Constitution worked for leading a life of social dignity and social respect along with minimum material well-being and education to an individual.
- Indian Constitution enabled the government to fulfill the aspirations of society, to make it more better.
- Indian Constitution has inculcated the federal spirit with the distribution of powers between the different levels of government as well as bicameral legislatures and independent judiciary have also been set up.
- The Constituent Assembly framed Constitution after a long debates and discussions to provide political, social and legal equalities to the people.
