Well, what the US did was beat the Japanese in a war and force the Japanese to surrender unconditionally. With that the US (and Allies) occupied Japan. The US then drew up the Japanese constitution.

After WW2 the Japanese people were rather over war and so didn’t resist. WW2 wasn’t a quick war which just saw the Japanese military destroyed. Japan got bombed flat.
