Description

The “principle of local autonomy” in Article 92 of the Constitution of Japan is generally considered to consist of two ideas. One is the decentralization, and the other is the participation of inhabitants. Out of several problems concerning the latter idea, only the two will be taken up in this short paper-the significance and the legal binding force of local referendums created by local ordinances. As regards the former problem, the function of referendums should be highly estimated at present, and as regards the latter, the result of a local referendum should be considered as advisory, and not as legally binding.
