Question

People's ability to express their will varies depending on their country's form of government. How do the governments of Japan, North Korea, and the Philippines differ in their attention (or lack thereof) to the will of the people?

Answer 1

Both the Constitution of Japan and the Philippines guarantees freedom of expression. Both countries have democractic governments. On the other hand, the North Korean government is communist and restricts all civil and political liberties for its citizens. Communist states generally have much less freedom than democracies.
