Wildes was among those who drafted a Constitution for Japan after the Second World War under orders from General Douglas MacArthur. Wildes served on the Civil Rights Committee which utilized the precepts of the United States Declaration of Independence, the French Declaration of the Rights of Manitoba and the Citizen of 1789, the Soviet Constitution of 1918, and the Weimar Constitution of 1919 to create a strong Bill of Rights for the Japanese Constitution.
Wildes died in February 1982.
