<Li> Emperor: Overall, the LDP draft adopts a wording that sounds as though the Emperor has greater power than under the current Constitution . The draft defines him as "the head of the State" (Article 1). Compared to the current Constitution, he is exempted from "the obligation to respect and uphold this Constitution" (Article 102). The draft defines Nisshōki as the national flag and Kimigayo the national anthem (Article 3). </Li> <Li> Human rights: The LDP draft, as the accompanying booklet states, revises many of the human right provisions currently adopted in the Constitution . The booklet describes the reason of these changes as: "Human rights should have ground on the State's history, culture and tradition" and "Several of the current Constitutional provisions are based on the Western - European theory of natural human rights; such provisions therefore require to be changed ." The draft lists every instance of the basic rights as something that is entitled by the State--as opposed to something that human beings inherently possess--as seen in the draft provisions of "new human rights" (see below). </Li> <P> The current Constitution has the phrase "public welfare" in four articles (Articles 12, 13, 22 and 29) and states that any human right is subject to restriction when it "interferes with the public welfare". The majority of legal professionals argue that the spirit of such restriction against rights based on "public welfare" is to protect other people's rights from infringement . In the LDP draft, every instance of the phrase "public welfare" is replaced with a new phrase: "public interest and public order". The booklet describes the reason for this change as "to enable the State to restrict human rights for the sake of purposes other than protecting people's rights from infringement", but it remains unclear under what conditions the State can restrict human rights . It also explains that what "public order" means is "order of society" and its intention is not to prohibit the people from making an objection to the government, but it explains nothing about "public interest". </P> <P> Provisions regarding the people's rights modified or added in the LDP draft include: </P>
