What did Suga want to add to Article 9?

  • Legitimizing Japan Self-Defense Forces

  • Abolishing nuclear weapons

  • Universal healthcare

  • Free education

Answer

Legitimizing Japan Self-Defense Forces was Suga's proposed addition to Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution. Article 9, enacted after World War II, renounces Japan's right to wage war and maintain military forces. Suga's amendment aimed to formally recognize the existence of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, which have been operating under the interpretation that Article 9 does not prohibit the maintenance of a self-defense force.
