Japanese Diet

The Japanese Diet is Japan’s national legislature, composed of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors. It is responsible for making laws, approving budgets, and overseeing the government. Elected every few years, members debate policies like economy, social issues, and foreign relations. The Diet operates as Japan's primary decision-making body, similar to other parliamentary systems worldwide, functioning to represent the people's interests and shape the nation's legislation and governance.
