For example, in the current Constitution of Japan, it is mentioned that 'sovereign power resides with the people' in its Preamble and 'the emperor' is 'the symbol of the State and of the unity of the people' in Article 1, however, it is actually regarded as 'constitutional monarch' (refer to Japanese Nation).
たとえば、現在の日本は日本国憲法に「主権者」は日本国憲法前文に「主権は国民に在する」と、「天皇」は日本国憲法第1条に「国民統合の象徴」とあるが、実情は「立憲君主」とみなされている（日本国参照）。
