National Diet

The National Diet is Japan's main legislative body, similar to a parliament or congress in other countries. It is responsible for making laws, approving the government’s budget, and overseeing the administration. The Diet is divided into two houses: the House of Representatives (lower house) and the House of Councillors (upper house). Members are elected by Japanese citizens. The Diet plays a crucial role in shaping laws and policies that affect Japan’s society, economy, and international relations. It meets regularly to discuss and pass legislation, ensuring democratic representation and governance.
