The emperor, rather than being the embodiment of all
sovereign authority (as he was previously), is the

fundamental human rights are explicitly guaranteed).

Legislative powers are vested in the Diet, which is
popularly elected and consists of two houses. The
House of Representatives (Shūgiin), or lower house,
ultimately takes precedence over the House of
Councillors (Sangiin), or upper house, in matters of
passing legislation, controlling the budget, and
approving treaties with foreign powers.
