Constitution Day

Day 1,016, 01:02 • Published in Japan Japan

• by Sophia Forrester

One year ago to this day, eJapan adopted our Imperial Constitution. Once vague traditions were brought into sharp focus, all by a few strokes of a pen. And our nation rallied to the side of our first true Emperor, the figurehead of our national culture who still guides us to this day.

Today, not all of that clarity remains. Many of our newer citizens may not have known that we have a constitution. Others knew, but find it irrelevant. What use, after all, are empty words a year past?

Yet there is a higher road than such dismissiveness. Our constitution brought us together originally because all citizens were given a voice in its drafting. Citizens of diverse views found common ground, and this grounded our national character. Today, even if some of this ground has been left behind, other good land lies yet undiscovered.

I ask all citizens to join in the discussion in the eJapan forums, on reforming our Imperial Constitution. We have an opportunity to once again involve all of us in the weaving of the fabric that is our nation. All eJapanese are needed and welcome in this task. Please join the forum discussion at http://nipponblog.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3028 . (If you have not yet signed up for the eJapan forums, please register and then sign in at http://nipponblog.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=11 .)

May the Emperor continue to reign, ten thousand years.

I don't understand most these comments. Oh well. Voted.

There's more to eRep than battles (thankfully!)... take a look at the links that Forrester-san provided above and take an interest in the other aspects of the game!

What? Reform? It's obviously a perfect document. What's the meaning of this?

Adam Reese Day 1,016, 09:24

So, the new people don't know about the constitution, so we should reform it? Can't we just... call attention to the constitution instead?

What exactly do you want to change, anyway? Nothing in your article says what you want to do with it, just that we should do something. What vague terminology when it comes to a central part of any government...

Well, you could, you know, look at the discussion of what needs to be changed on the forum pissy pants.

^BOOM HEADSHOT.

Like anyone pays attention to the constitution, anyways. I know I don't.

YOU'RE ON THIN ICE ADAM

My own goal with this is not a specific agenda for change, but to weave together an agenda from the ideas of citizens. The intewnt is to restore the common feeling for the constitution that we achieved one year ago.

There are already some great ideas in the forum ad I encourage everyone to join in.
