Many people would think I was lying if I told them that amending the Constitution would be easy.

But if a neighboring country (or even a distant country), invades our country, I think our people would be inclined to amend the Constitution in a heartbeat.

I believe that the "Self-Defense Forces will be reorganized as the Japanese Armed Forces" beyond the dimension of the "revision of Article 9.

Furthermore, something as terrible as "abandoning the entire text of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution" could happen.

I have created a desk top simulation of a constitutional amendment approach triggered by a foreign invasion.

The biggest concern is finding the time to amend the Constitution.

A referendum in wartime will be an incredibly hard mission.

In order to complete the constitutional reform before the parliament and the executive branch are occupied, the primary goal (although it goes against the principle of national defense) would still be the defense of the capital.

Anyway, I am thinking carefree, 'So, well, yeah, I guess we don't have to rush to revise the Constitution.

The Constitution should be revised only after a thorough, enough time debate among all citizens.

But perhaps I can more easily imagine this kind of " ad hoc, slapstick approach to constitutional reform".

As I have said before, I am a "Constitutionalist" with a deviation of about 52.
