Peace Preservation Law
By the surrender of Japan in 1945, the significance of "kokutai" diminished. In autumn 1945, GHQ forbade circulation of the "Kokutai no Hongi" and repealed the Peace Preservation Law (15 October 1945). By the enactment of the Constitution of the State of Japan (3 May 1947), Tenno's sovereignty and the "lèse-majesté" were repealed.
