A number of scholars of the Constitution of Japan support the theory of double standard. They interpret freedom of expression as the highest valuable human right. Consequently prior restraint of freedom of expression is forbidden generally. The Ministry of Education inspects the contents of textbooks now in our country. Quite a number of scholars of the Japanese Constitution insist that the inspection is contrary to the constitutional provision of freedom of expression. But the textbooks are used for education for good citizenship and children are compeled to study the textbooks by the law. These books are specific books unlike other books. In this paper, I argue that we must conclude constitutionality about restriction of freedom of expression in due consideration of purpose of the restriction and nature of textbook. It may be given as a conclusion that the present inspection of textbook dose not violate the freedom of expression.

In modern Europe, in the beginning, the interests of the ethnic minorities were protected by international law. After the first World War, the rights of the ethnic minorities and the cultural autonomy were constitutionalized in Northern Europe such as Finland and the Baltic states as well as the socialist states. Recently, they are dealed with as the important constitutional rights in Western States, for example, Belgium, Sweden, Spain, and Canada. In general, the concept of the ethnic minority rights consists of two elements; namely, one is the prohibition against discrimination on account of nationality or race, the other is not only protecting but also developing the peculiar cultur of the ethnic minority groups, especially, language, education, religion and traditional customs. I think it necessary for giving consideration to the human rights of the ethnic minority groups to respect their cultural particularity.

Il y a un cas d'utiliser une autre oeuvre par modification pour qu'on exprime sa idee. Particulierement c'est notable dans la parodie. Dans le cas, la derogation produit entre la liberte d'expression et le droit d'auteur, le droit au respect de l'oeuvre. Mais la liberte d'expression doit justifier une telle initiative sous condition. Si ce genre est exonere de droit d'auteur et droit au respect de l'oeuvre. c'est a la condition qu'il y ait necessite de l'utilisation, qu'il n'y ait aucune confusion possible entre l'oeuvre originale et l'oeuvre parodiee.

Even though she has a written constitution, every nation has her own unwritten laws, i. e. Kokutai in my word, which make the foundations of a nation. Whenever we proclaim a written constitution, we should pay a deep regard to Kokutai.
