"It prohibited Japan from having an army."
Reason: MacArthur’s occupation goals were demilitarization and prevention of future Japanese aggression. The new constitution (especially Article 9) renounced war and forbade maintaining armed forces for war, which helped ensure Japan would not rebuild a militaristic state and could be reformed into a peaceful, democratic nation. The other choices are inaccurate: the constitution did not give a "right to vote on war," and it did not outright prevent all alliances (later the U.S.–Japan security arrangements and Japan's Self-Defense Forces show those limits).
