Explanation:

• Japan only:
• Constitutional monarchy: Japan has a constitutional monarchy with an emperor as a symbolic head.
• Bicameral parliament: Japan's parliament (Diet) is bicameral, but the US has a two - house Congress (not a parliament in the same sense).
• Election of a prime minister: Japan elects a prime minister, while the US elects a president.
• The US and Japan:
• Universal suffrage: Both countries have universal suffrage (the right to vote for all eligible citizens).
• Rights for individuals: Both countries have provisions for individual rights (e.g., in their constitutions).
• Bicameral legislature (note: Japan's Diet is bicameral, US Congress is bicameral; the term "bicameral parliament" for Japan and "two - house Congress" for US are similar in structure). Wait, more accurately: Universal suffrage, rights for individuals are shared. Also, the bicameral nature (Japan's Diet has two houses, US Congress has two houses) so "bicameral parliament" (Japan) and "two - house Congress" (US) are similar in having two legislative chambers, but the terms are specific to each country. But universal suffrage and rights for individuals are clear shared aspects.
• The US only:
• Two - house Congress: The US has a two - house Congress (Senate and House of Representatives), Japan has a bicameral Diet (House of Representatives and House of Councillors, but the term "Congress" is US - specific).

Answer:

• Japan only: constitutional monarchy, bicameral parliament, election of a prime minister
• The US and Japan: universal suffrage, rights for individuals
• The US only: two - house Congress
