Question 6 • WA-World History B - Aberdeen

Which was a major change to elections that resulted from the new Japanese constitution?

Answer
A
Women were given the right to vote.
B
The public could help select the emperor.
C
The public could vote directly for the prime minister.
D
Occupation forces were given the right to vote.

Explanation

The postwar Japanese constitution expanded democratic rights and enfranchised women. Women voted in Japan’s 1946 general election for the first time, making the right to vote for women a major change to elections. The emperor remained a ceremonial figure, and the public did not directly elect the prime minister.
