since the New Order era, the supreme power was in the hands of the Assembly (and
not in the hands of the people), the President had too much power, and because of the
existence of some laws that were too "flexible" (which could have caused multiple
interpretations). The purpose of making changes to the 1945 Constitution was to
enhance basic rules such as the order of the state, sovereignty of the people, human
rights, division of powers, the existence of democracy and rule of law, and other
matters in accordance with the aspirations and needs of the nation's development.
Changes to the constitution were made with the condition of not changing the
Preamble, retaining the state structure of unity or later better known as the Republic
of Indonesia, as well as reinforcing the presidential system of governance.
In the time period of 1999-2002, the 1945 Constitution experienced 4 changes
(amendments) which were stipulated during the General Assembly and MPR Annual
Trial:
1. General Session, 1999, 14-21 October 1999 First Amendment of the 1945
constitution
2. 2000 MPR Annual Session, 7-18 August 2000 Second Amendment of the
1945 constitution
3. 2001 MPR Annual Session, 1-9 November 2001 Third Amendment of the
1945 constitution
4. 2002 MPR Annual Session, 1-11 August 2002 1945 Fourth Amendment
These four amendments include very deep and broad aspects as well as
amends a number of chapters which their substances are subject to a few changes or
supplementations. Before the amendments, the 1945 constitution was only made up
of 16 chapters, 37 articles and 47 paragraphs plus 4 paragraph of the Transitional
Provisions and Supplementary Rules. After being amended four times, the 1945
constitution consisted of 20 chapters, 73 chapters, plus paragraph 3 of Article 171 of
the Transitional Provisions and Supplementary Rules 2 article. The substance of the
amendments changed the most basic things on the political systemand constitutional
implications for the changes in various laws and political life of Indonesia in the
future. In this framework the various new legislation in the field of politics are
drafted, namely the Law of Political Parties, Election Law Legislative and
Presidential Elections Act Structure and Status of the People's Consultative Assembly
(MPR), the House of Representatives (DPR) and the Regional Representative Council
(DPD) .
