The new japanese constitution after world war ii contained a clause that- -promised that japan would remain allies with the us. -prevented japan from having or using an army. -required all citizens to vote in japanese elections. -stopped japan from making special trade agreements.

The correct answer is “prevented Japan from having or using an army.”

After WWII, Japan’s new Constitution did not allow Japan to have an offensive military force. This is stated at Article 9 of Japan’s Constitution that says: "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".

The correct option is “prevented Japan from having or using an army”.

Further Explanation:

The Japanese military fought a “brave front” pledge and compact to fight till “the conclusion” in the Second World war, but in the meantime “secret negotiations” were taking place in the middle of the Japanese front runners, Britain, Russia, and the USA. Britain and the USA planned to drop “atomic bombs” on ‘Hiroshima’ and ‘Nagasaki’, to conclude rapidly and compelled Japan to surrender. Because of the Peace Treaty’s unfavorable terms, the Japanese military troops’ refused to surrender.

After the war, the first task of Japanese was to ‘bring social reforms’ in the society for their fast rehabilitation. A Constitution which is based on the ‘Principle of sovereignty’ was set to influence in the month of May 1947. As per the constitution’s Clause 9, it was granted that Japan will stay allied with the U.S.A and prevent further participation of the “Japanese Army” in “international combat”. It also granted citizens the “right to vote”.
