The Indonesian Constitution, known as the 1945 Constitution, serves as the fundamental legal document of Indonesia. It was originally enacted on August 18, 1945, shortly after the country declared independence from Dutch colonial rule. The Constitution outlines the structure of the government, the rights of citizens, and the principles of democracy in Indonesia. The 1945 Constitution has undergone several amendments, particularly in 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002, to enhance democratic governance and human rights protections. It establishes Indonesia as a unitary state and emphasizes the importance of Pancasila, the official philosophical foundation that promotes unity and diversity among its people.
