The Constitution of Indonesia: Historical and Developments of Recent Constitutional Amendments

Abstract

This research discusses the development of the constitution in Indonesia, which has been stipulated since August 18, 1945. The approach used is normative juridical, while the data source is secondary data, and the analysis uses qualitative descriptive. The results indicate that the constitution in Indonesia has been amended several times, including the 1945 Constitution, the RIS Constitution, and the 1950 Constitution. It returned to the 1945 Constitution until it was amended for the 4th (fourth) time and is valid until it was amended. External and internal factors cause changes in the constitution of Indonesia. They are influenced by the existing legal and political conditions, which then impact changes in the constitutional system in Indonesia.
