Although the 1947 Constitution of Japan was enacted under the occupation of the General Headquarters of the Allied Powers, it is thought that a British-style parliamentary government was introduced in Japan at this time. Leading constitutional scholars in postwar Japan believed in two ideas derived from the British constitutional history: (i) monistic parliamentary government and (ii) the free exercise of dissolution power by the British cabinet. Both of these ideas have been widely shared among constitutional scholars in Japan. However, in fact, these two beliefs derived from French scholars, and British constitutional scholars did not share them. The difference in substance and approach between the Japanese/French and the British interpretations was never explored in Japan. Japanese scholars sought a rational understanding of the British parliamentary government, thereby overlooking the empiricist understanding.

战后日本议会政府的两种信仰回顾：英国树冠下的日本/法国信仰

虽然1947年的日本宪法是在同盟国总本部的占领下制定的，但人们认为此时日本引入了英式议会制政府。战后日本的主要宪法学者相信源自英国宪政史的两个观点：(i) 一元议会政府和 (ii) 英国内阁自由行使解散权。这两种观点在日本的宪法学者中都得到了广泛的认同。然而，事实上，这两种信仰源自法国学者，英国宪政学者并不认同。日本从未探索过日本/法国和英国的解释在实质和方法上的差异。
