1945 Constitution
The 1945 Constitution of Indonesia is the fundamental legal document that outlines the structure of the government and the rights of its citizens. It was enacted on August 18, 1945, shortly after Indonesia declared independence from Dutch colonial rule. The Constitution establishes a presidential system and emphasizes the principles of democracy, social justice, and national unity.
This Constitution has undergone several amendments since its original enactment, particularly in 1999-2002, to enhance democratic governance and human rights protections. It serves as the foundation for Indonesia's legal framework and guides the country's political and social development.
