Documents with Commentaries Part 5 Enactment of the Constitution of Japan
This memorandum, created by the Legislative Division in Government Section at GHQ, lays out the status of the bills necessary to put the new Constitution into effect. Government Section had split the bills into three categories as of February 28, 1947: bills received in GS; bills not received in GS; and additional bills which the Cabinet proposed to present in next Diet. The bills were organized by type according to the relevant ministry, with the date they were received by GHQ and the name of the person in charge there. From this memorandum we can see how GHQ organized recommendations to the Japanese government in regard to bills designed to put the Japanese Constitution into effect.
