The Peaceful Constitution, which was put into effect on May the 3 rd, 1947, established the basic peaceful principle. Since it was enacted, kinds of political power began to stand up for it or fight against it.During the cold war, because the political power of upholding the Peaceful Constitution objected it, Japan' s three times attempt of head-on revising the constitution failed. But under the excuse of self-defense Japan has been enhancing its military power unceasing. The Three Principles of Weapon Exporting and the limit that the military expenditure cannot surpass the GNP 1% of the year were been broken down. Japan's military power has been derogating the Peaceful Constitution on and on.After the cold war, the fighting-against political power enforced distorted strategy to revise the Peaceful Constitution from the periphery toward the 9th detail of the Peaceful Constitution. In 1992, the parliament of Japan approved the PKO bill by the Gulf War. This bill broke through the prohibited region of the Peaceful Constitution that Japan bans its military power go abroad to take military action. In 1995, by the chance of Korean peninsula nuclear crisis, Japan revised its synopsis of thedefense plan, so that the idea of the defense within its own country began to jellify. Then the manifesto of security in 1996 and the new plan cynosure in 1997 of defense cooperation between Japan and America signed that Japan's defense system changed essentially. Japan's defense strategy deflected the constitution. In 1999, the bill of dealing with perimeter situation extended the area that Japan intervened in Asian affairs. In 2001, by the chance of Afghan War against terrorism, Japans parliament approved three anti-terrorism bills that aggrandized Japanese premier's authorities and realized its dream of allowing its military power to take action abroad during war. Not long before that, by the changes of Iraq War and the Korean nuclear crisis, Japan put the three ?and next year another seven contingency legislation into effect. Those bills stretched the constitutional limits on its military activities abroad, opened the door from self-defense within its country to collective self-defense, and frayed its constitution greatly. In May and October, the special measure bill of helping Iraq rebuild and the revised bill of anti-terrorism special measure bill were approved. The above two bills signed that Japan began to endeavor to send its army abroad forever. The next military target of Japan is to delete the 9th detail of the Peaceful Constitution, and then become a common political and military power.On the other hand, under the slogan of self-defense, Japan also avoids its constitution, reinforces its military power, and builds a modernized army. Japan's capacity of nucleus and tendency of nuclear weapon challenge the Three Principles of No-nucleus. Those years, Japan participates the researching and the dispensing of TMD, thus breaksthrough the Three Principles of No-nucleus and exerting the right of the collective self-defense. The perspective of the 9th detail of the peaceful constitution makes people concerned.
