“We, the _____ people desire peace for all time and are deeply conscious of the high ideals controlling human relationship”.
The above line has been taken from the preamble of which country?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option 4 - Japan
The Japanese Constitution of 1947 is popularly known as the ‘peace constitution’.
The preamble states that “We, the Japanese people desire peace for all time and are deeply conscious of the high ideals controlling human relationship”.
The philosophy of the Japanese constitution is thus based on the ideal of peace.
Article 9 of the Japanese constitution states —
1) Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes.
2) In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained… This shows how the context of making the constitution dominates the thinking of the constitution makers.
