FOREWORDS OF SUBJECT/PRINCIPLE MATERIAL OF
PANCASILA AND UUD NRI 1945 (1945 CONSTITUTION OFTHE STATE OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA)
The Indonesian people should feel grateful to our Founding Fathers for
having agreed on determining the five basic principles (Pancasila), grounded on
the noble values of nation. For the Indonesian people, the contents and dynamics
of values of Pancasila as the way of life are inherent, whether as national ideology,
state foundation, or life philosophy, or life philosophy as well as the identity of the
Indonesian people. The values of Pancasila are the most profound, abstract, and
high-positioned dimension in social life phenomena as well as possessing
integrative power for all different components of nation, both vertically and
horizontally. These values are the sources of ethics and morals for all Indonesian
people that later develop in the forms of real attitudes and behaviours in daily
social life.
At the present time, Pancasila is dealing with quite a tough ordeal both in its
relation with its own existence and also in the implementation of its values in social
and nation life. It cannot be denied that within these last 10 years, after
Reformation era, the attention of people, be it individual, groups, institutions
(governmental and non-governmental) to Pancasila is increasingly degrading. This
is quite saddening since the values of Pancasila are no longer reflected in each
individual and half of decision makers’ apparatus. Pancasila is even getting left
behind proven by the dismissal of Badan Pembinaan Pendidikan Pelaksanaan
Pedoman Penghayatan dan Pengamalan Pancasila (BP-7) [Educational Institute
of Implementation and Internalization of Pancasila ] and Kementrian Penerangan (
the Ministry of Information) as a means of socialization, empowerment, and
implementation of Pancasila in national development.
There are many products of law and law enforcement which do not quite
reflect the values of Pancasila, proven by the absence of sense of justice and the
degrading moral and attitude of people. The basic values of Pancasila inherent in
the Pembukaan UUD NRI 1945 (the Preamble of 1945 Constitution of the State of
the Republic of Indonesia), explained into various rules, acts ( peraturan
perundang-undangan) and thinking grounds as instrumental values of Pancasila,
8/18/2019 Module 1 Pancasila and Its Development

are relatively still far from satisfactory. Pancasila, as the basic source of national
law and UUD NRI 1945 as the source of law, which should be divided hierarchally
into various executives rules (Undang-undang /Law, Peraturan
Presiden/Presidential Regulation, Peraturan Pemerintah/Governmental Regulation
and Peraturan Daerah/ Regional Regulation) seems unable to be put into practice
concretely. Quite a number of improvements are necessary to do, which are:
improving the quality of human resources, especially those of policy makers who
assume the mandate of the people; performing good attitude and moral conduct;
possessing the capability to deal with the influence of globalization.
The national tragedy, G30S/PKI incident in 1965, was a bitter experience of
the existence of Pancasila as well as a precious lesson for the Indonesian people
in dealing with challenges the uncertain future might bring. The socialization of
Pancasila as the state foundation and open ideology which is universal needs to
be profoundly comprehended and internalized by all components of Indonesian
people, especially the knowledge on the existence of Pancasila among well-known
ideologies in the world.
Amendments of paragraphs in UUD 1945 (1945 Constitution) must not be
in contrast with the values of Pancasila and must be adjusted to the developmentof strategic environment, especially in facing the influence of globalization as a
result of the relatively rapid changing of knowledge and technology progress. The
result of amendments of UUD NRI 1945 (the articles) needs socializing, be it that
of the birth, process, method, socialization itself and implementation
understanding of Pancasila ideology and UUD NRI 1945 is expectedly able to help
make it easier the participants of educational course program at Lemhannas in
learning the subjects of Pancasila and UUD NRI 1945 .

GENERAL COURSE GUIDELINES
PANCASILA AND ITS DEVELOPMENT
1. Introduction
Pancasila, which is grounded on Indonesian culture, contains noble values
the Indonesian people have upheld for a long time. These values are religious
values, traditional values, and those of struggling for freedom from all kinds of
colonialism.
These noble values were cryztallized in formulation of Pancasila as a
manifestation of humanity philosophy reflecting the relation of human beings and
God, of among human beings, as well as human beings and their environment.
The formulation of Pancasila is a way of life the Indonesian people believe as a
truth and nation life philosophy. This abstract idealism was then made a national
ideology.
As a national life philosophy and national ideology, Pancasila requires
ruling norms (regulations) so that it possesses a binding power of law in its
implementation and internalization in all aspects of national life. Thus, the formula
of the five basic principles of Pancasila was stipulated into Pembukaan UUD NRI1945 (the Preamble of 1945 Constitution of the State of the Republic of Indonesia)
and was also made the state foundation as well as the basic source of NKRI’s law.
The truth of Pancasila which is based on the humanity philosophy in its relation
with God, with other human beings and with the nature (living space), has made it
acknowledged among well-known ideologies in the world and in globalization era
as an open and universal ideology.

b. Brief Description. General Description on the Birth of Pancasila. In
preparation of independence, the founding fathers joining BPUPKI designed
the constitution and discussed the kind of country that would be
established. The various views of our founding fathers resulted in the
formulation called Pancasila. Formulation or materials or values of
Pancasila originated from Indonesian culture itself which was regarded able
to contain diversity in Indonesia. Hence, Pancasila which is the philosophy
of nation and way of life and then made the national ideology, is the source
of all legal sources so that the constitution (UUD NRI 1945 ) arranged must
reflect the spirit of Pancasila. Please learn and understand Lemhannas’s
textbook about the birth of Pancasila (Learning Activity 1).

PANCASILA AS PHILOSOPHY AND WAY OF LIFE OF NATION
1. Description. For formulating and reaching agreement on Pancasila as
philosophy and way of life of the Indonesian people, our founding fathers had gone
through tight discussions and arguments. However, a strong wisdom and spiritual
nuance in discussions for achieving common consensus helped find out solutions
for the differences in quite a short time.
2. Relevancy. By learning Module 2 on Pancasila as Philosophy and Way of
Life of the Indonesian people, participants of either the Regular or ShortEducational Program as the prospective national leaders are expected to imitate
and inherit the national nature of our founding fathers in formulating and deciding
Pancasila as the philosophy and way of life of Indonesian people. This also means
that in giving substance and meaning to the independence and realizing the ideals
of state, we must always root in Pancasila.

3) Manifestation of Struggle for National Freedom.
4) Pancasila as Life Philosophy and Moral Ideals of Nation.
b. Brief Description. General description of Pancasila as Philosophy
and Way of Life of Nation. There is not any common perception or
explanation on the understanding of philosophy of Pancasila until today.
Many are afraid that Pancasila is similar to religion and functions solely as
unifying tools. Pancasila is translated literally, described into the five basic
principles of Pancasila, and formulated into a variety of value systems
which are getting increasingly harder for common or low educated people to
understand.
Pancasila is not a religion, but a philosophy believed and agreed as
a truth which contains noble values grounded on religious teachings
therein. Pancasila is a teaching emphasizing that a human being is God’s
perfect creature, an individual creature that believes in and serves Him as
well as a social creature with good moral and behaviours. Implementationof Pancasila in all aspects of national life will reflect one’s moral behaviours
and then later portray those of a community (the Indonesian people)
accumulatively. As a nation that has formed into a state life or in other
words, Pancasila is a state philosophical foundation. Please learn and
understand Lemhannas’s textbook on the birth of Pancasila (Learning
Activity 2).

MODULE 3
PANCASILA AS A NATIONAL IDEOLOGY
1. Description. Essentially, ideology is the result of human reflection due to
his ability to make distance with his living world. There is a dialectic relation
between ideology and reality of social life, causing a reciprocal influence which is
8/18/2019 Module 1 Pancasila and Its Development
18/127
18
manifested in form of one party encouraging ideology to be more realistic, while
the other to be more ideal. Ideology does not only reflect the way of thinking of
people, but also encourages people to achieve ideals. Thus, it can be seen that
ideology is not a mere theoretical knowledge, but a knowledge that must be
comprehended and internalized into a belief. Ideology is surely a clear option
requiring realizing it.
2. Relevancy. By learning module 3 on Pancasila as National Ideology,
participants are expected to understand and comprehend that Pancasila as a
national ideology may accept and absorb ideas of other ideologies as long as not
in contrast with Pancasila, and could be adjusted to Indonesian culture.
3. Learning Activity:
a. Learning Activity 3 discusses:
1) The Essence and Functions of Ideology.
2) Pancasila as a National Ideology.
b. Brief Description. General description of Pancasila as National
Ideology. According to Prof. Notonagoro, ideology is identical with state
ideals of each country. Close relationship between ideology, politic, and
state ideals demands Pancasila ideology to be an open and universalideology as well as inseparable from other ideologies in the world, including
in its struggle for ealing with the impact of globalization era triggered by the
progress of relatively rapid changing of science and technology. Please

ideology and national ideology (Learning Activity 3).

b. Brief Description. General description of Pancasila Among Major
Ideologies in the World. The five principles of Pancasila are interrelated,
inseparable, and must be seen as an intact, unified, and thorough ideology
since the establishment of NKRI (the Unitary State of the Republic of
Indonesia), Pancasila has been made life philosophy of nation, state
philosophical foundation, and national ideology. History recorded that,
particularly in Indonesia, the development of ideology is inseparable from
that of politics, and the way around. One of experts at ideology (Freeden)
said that ideology is a form of thinking about politics which provides direct
access important in understanding its establishment, essence of theory,
richness, variety, and origin. Diversity of ideologies in the world originally
came from the two contrasting ideas, namely individualism and socialism.
Ideas on individualism brought up liberalism ideology, whereas socialisminitiated various ideology focusing on social matters. Pancasila is between
these two ideas or ideologies. Please learn and understand Lemhannas’s
textbook on Pancasila Among Major Ideologies in the World (Learning

1. Description. The waves of globalization and reformation in all aspects of
life have resulted in the rapid changing of society and frequently cause conflicts in
social life. Furthermore, openness and freedom coming along with globalization
and reformation have initiated various social, political, and cultural events quite
significantly influencing Pancasila, as a national ideology. Degradation on national

morals, anarchism, attitudes which put personal and group interests overall,
extreme and fanatical understanding of religion, conflicts in several parts of
Indonesia and other social issues can be such indications illustrating that
civilization is changing dynamically over time and this changing can always be
monitored by each human being through the increasingly sophisticated information
media. In this case, every Indonesian people is tested his resilience in absorbing,
filtering, or adjusting to the new values.
2. Relevancy. By learning Module 6 on Pancasila in Globalization Era,
participants are expected to understand, comprehend, and become aware of the
impact of globalization on all aspects of nation life, shown by various changes in
social life, especially those related to ideology, politic, economic, socioculture,
defense and security. It is hoped that participants as prospective national leaders
are able to anticipate, predict, attempt to cope with these changes so as to
maintain the unity and integration of Indonesia. Such resilience in maintaining
national identity or character is necessary in order to respond properly and ensure
that the national interests are still secured despite the inevitable changing life.

b. Brief Description. General description of Pancasila in GlobalizationEra. Western thinking (F. Ratzel and R. Kjollen) stated that human beings
need states and states need living space, making the states living entities
(biological entities). Directly or not, a state keeps attempting to broaden its
living space. Pancasila ideology views the existences of human beings,
states, and living space as a gift from God that must be thanked to and
maintained for continuity of common life in reaching common ideals (national
ideals). To sustain this life, each human must always adapt to the changes

the Indonesian people must be able to absorb. The impact of globalization
which seems like seeking to unify the world and obliterate borders between
nations by holding tightly on to Pancasila as a national character collectively
agreed. This makes the Indonesian people remain possessing a firm national
identity despite the strongly changing civilization. Please learn and
understand Lemhannas’s textbook on Pancasila in Globalization Era

BIRTH OF PANCASILA
MODULE 1
Learning Act iv i ty 1
1. Philosophical Foundation of Indonesian State
The defeat of Japan in Pacific War in early 1945 caused the Japanese
government to make a promise of independence for Indonesia in order to prevent
any rebellions. As a response to that policy, Badan Penyelidik Usaha-usaha
Persiapan Kemerdekaan/ BPUPKI (Investigating Committee for the Preparation of
Independence) was established and chaired by Dr. Radjiman Wedyodiningrat.
This committee consisted of 58 members who were divided into several sections
and one basic law committee. This basic law committee comprised 19 members,
was chaired by Ir. Soekarno, and its name was changed into Panitia Undang-
undang Dasar ( Committee of Constitution) in its development. From this
committee, it was formed Panitia Kecil Perancang UUD ( Subcommittee of
Constitution Designing) and led by Prof. Dr. Mr. Soepomo. BPUPK I held two
official sessions. The first session lasted from May 28 until June 1, 1945 and
discussed state philosophical foundation, while the second session lasted from
July 10 to 17, 1945 and discussed the form of nation, territory, nationality, design
of constitution, economic and finance, national defence, education and teaching.
There was also an unofficial session, conducted during the period between the
first and second session, discussing the design of Pembukaan UUD 1945 (the
Preamble of 1945 Constitution), and chaired by Ir. Soekarno. Having
accomplished its tasks, BPUPKI was dismissed and then replaced by Panitia
Persiapan Kemerdekaan Indonesia/PPKI ( Committee for the Preparation of
Indonesian Independence) on August 7, 1945. PPKI held its first session from Aug
18, 1945, right one day after Independence Proclamation, until August 22, 1945.
According to its agenda plan, BPUPKI discussed state philosophical
foundation (from May 28, 1945 to June 1, 1945); whom which on May 29, 1945 the
speakers invited were Muh. Yamin, Margono, Sosrodiningrat, Wiranata Kusumah,
Sumitro, Woerjaningrat, Surjo, Soesanto, Dasaad, Rooseno, and Aris P.
Among these speakers, it was only Muh Yamin who delivered a speech.
8/18/2019 Module 1 Pancasila and Its Development
29/127
29
The next day, on May 29, 1945, there were speakers like Drs. Moh. Hatta, Agus
Salim Samsudin, Wongsonegoro, Soerachman, Abdul Kadir, Soewandi Abdul
Rahim, Soekirman and Soetarjo. However, it was only Dr. Moh. Hatta who
delivered a speech for more than an hour. It was so unfortunate that the speech
text was not documented and up until now, it is still being searched for historical
clarification. On May 31, 1945, the speakers on schedule were Mr. Muh. Yamin,
Sanusi, Soehardjo, Soekarno, and Hadikoesoemo. Yet, only from Ki Bagoes Hadi
Koesoemo, Prof. Dr. Soepomo and Mr. Muh. Yamin were speeches delivered.
Then, on June 1,1945, the speakers on schedule were Basweand, Muzakir, Ir.
Soekarno, Latuharhary, and Soekarjo. But, only from Ir. Soekarno was a speech
delivered. Thus, during the first official session of BPUPKI, only five speakers were
delivering their speeches on state philosophical foundation, Mr. Muh. Yamin, Dr.
Moh. Hatta, Ki Bagoes Hadi Koesoemo, Prof. Dr. Mr. Soepomo, and Ir. Soekarno.
Among these five speakers, only four speechtexts were found. These four
included speechtext of Muh.Yamin, that of Ki Bagoes Hadi Koesoemo, of Prof. Dr.
Soepomo, and of Ir. Soekarno. Speech text of Drs. Moh. Hatta was not found yet
hitherto.
During this first session, Mr. Muh Yamin had twice delivered speeches. Thefirst one was about the design of Indonesia’s territory plan. The following are the
contents of speeches delivered Mr. Muh. Yamin, Ki Bagoes Hadi Koesoemo, Prof.
Dr. Mr. Soepomo, and Ir. Soekarno.
2. Contents of Speech Delivered by Mr. Muh. Yamin on May 29, 1945
Peri Kebangsaan (Nationalism)
Mr. Muh. Yamin mentioned that if the Indonesian people wished for
independence at that time, there were three tasks that had to be accomplished,namely gathering all necessary materials for establishing a state, formulating
constitution and executing the contents of basic law in the established country/
state. The new state had to be in form of a national state (nationale staat or etat
national ) in line with the normality or natural thing of civilization at that time.
Indonesia in the previous era had two states in form of kingdoms (governance at
higher level people), Srivijaya and Majapahit. Yet, these two states had already
collapsed 400 years ago. Moreover, he mentioned that at that time, there were
8/18/2019 Module 1 Pancasila and Its Development
30/127
30
more than 300 small kingdoms which tended to be more local and traditional and
in which the people each kingdom were not connected from one subkingdom to
the others. It was not appropriate anymore if the Indonesian people after
independence referred to and reflected to the previous conditions of 300 small
kingdoms in running their new governance.
Eventhough Srivijaya and Majapahit had once experienced their golden
periods, yet, we have to arrange our governance at lower level people. In doing
this, we needed not imitate for ours has already been civilized and cultured since
thousands of years ago. By referring to present (a few moment after independence
proclamation), progress of civilization and also the order of governance at lower
level people state. The essences of true governance were collected and made into
state philosophical foundation. The principles of our state philosophical foundation
had to be grounded on the characters of Indonesian civilization, not imitating or
copying constitutions of other countries. Civilization and our will as a nation should
become a pattern or characteristic of the would be established-country/ state. The
Republic of Indonesia wished by the Indonesian people is the Indonesian national
state as a nationaale staat . Imitation and copy from foreign countriess should be
treated as mirror solely.
Peri Kemanus iaan (Humanity)
Mr. Muh Yamin said that for the Indonesian people, becoming independent
did not only mean to be free from the Dutch occupation, but also meant to arrange
a new society in a new independent state. Independence would liven up
sovereignity of a state, both internally (inwards) or externally (outwards). Internal
(inwards) sovereignity and independence provided high level protection to every
citizen along with his property rights and richness within the state’s borders.External (outwards) independence and sovereignity provided many opportunities
to Indonesia for forging relationship with other countries. This was the kind of
sovereignity the Indonesian people had wished, not the other, and thus we refused
the offer of dominion and protectorate status. We had wished for a sovereign state
in order to be able to fully join the nations’ family membership. This membership
regulated diplomatic relationship independently. Therefore, sovereignity had to be
based on perikemanusiaan ( humanity) universally containing humanity and
8/18/2019 Module 1 Pancasila and Its Development
31/127
31
internationalism for all nations, for the basis of perikemanusiaan was
internationalism law, and morality/ decency rules of all national and independent
states.
P ERI K ETUHANAN (BELIEF IN GOD)
Mr. Muh. Yamin explained that the Indonesian people who would soon gain
their independence belonged to civilized nation or people, in which the One
Supreme God existed in their civilization. Hence, the independent and prosperous
Indonesian state would believe in God. God would protect the independent
Indonesian state.
Peri Kerakyatan (State Based on People)
Permusyawaratan (Deliberation/Discussions in Forum for
Gaining Unanimity)
Shura’ Asysyura (from the Qur’an), verse 38 reads that all matters
must be discussed in forums to gain unanimity. According to Mr. Muh.
Yamin, there were three reasons to implement permusyawaratan
( deliberation/discussions in forums for gaining unanimity):
a. By opening their minds during discussions with other people
to attain unanimity, a person would always walk in God’s path.
b. By conducting deliberations, the burden of state management
was not given to one single person only, but to a great number of
people.
c. Deliberations for attaining unanimity diminished the possibility
of someone making a mistake and also a state falling into digression.
In the history of Islam, Islamic deliberations for gaining unanimity had
long been conducted, as well as when Islam first arrived inIndonesia. However, before religions began to enter Indonesia, this
culture on doing deliberations had long been existed in countryside
society because this kind of society had long been there since
ancent times. The basis of this culture did not disappear during the
arrival of Hinduism and Buddhism. It even grew and flourished since
Islam arrived in Indonesia, instead.
8/18/2019 Module 1 Pancasila and Its Development
32/127

Perwakilan (Representatives)
The Indonesian people’s capability and skills in managing statecraft
had long existed since thousands of years ago proven by as many as
21.000 villages in Java Island, 700 nagari (local term for village) in
Minangkabau, the order of negeri sembilan in Malaya, as well as those in
Borneo, Bugis, Ambon, Minahasa, and other places. The order of these
alliances was not disturbed by the influence of Hinduism, Buddhism, as well
as feudalism and colonization. Villages were vilages, no matter how many
times the order changed over time, and villages were one of the pillars of
traditional alliances which inclined to be similar than different throughout
Indonesia.
In this order, the people under the position of authority and becoming
representatives were chosen for greater order. It was these representatives
who discussed of customary law in the statecraft of governance at lower
level people, but also became such a guideline for the present (at that time)
national wishes in arranging statecraft of governance at middle and higher
level. These representatives would become the connectors of statecraft
spirit of Indonesian people, and the basis of representatives was an eternalbasis grounded on Indonesian culture.
Kebijaksanaan (Wisdom)
State establishment formed a renewal, while a renewal was
inseparable from the belief in God and Indonesian cultural heritage already
influenced by feudalism of colonial rulers. Indonesia had to be arranged by
healthy logics and nationalism. The educated groups, through movement
organizations for independenc, had contributed their minds and physicalforce for conducting movements. These movements had helped interpret
the dynamics and ideals of the Indonesian people. Hikmat kebijaksananan
(inner wisdom) becoming the leader of Indonesian people was a healthy
nationalism since it meant that we had freed ourselves from anarchism,
liberalism, and colonialization spirits.
a. State Concept
These three bases previously mentioned brought us to the state
8/18/2019 Module 1 Pancasila and Its Development
33/127
33
order which was based on reality. We did not stand hand in hand with
Plato’s Republica, Aristoteles’s Politea and Thomas More’s Utopia.
1) Indonesia rejected statecraft violating the basis of
deliberations, representatives, and wisdom.
2) Indonesia rejected any concepts of federalism, monarchy,
liberalism, autocracy, and Western democracy.
3) Indonesia rejected any forms of colonialization. Indonesia
was an independent and fully sovereign national state.
4) Indonesia rejected any concepts of istibdadi , khilaah, and
filsafatiyah.
5) Indonesia rejected any basis of colonialization as the basis of
state establishment governance.
6) Indonesia rejected any actions upsetting the state sovereignity
by playing it like a puppet.
By rejecting all of these concepts, Indonesia would realize these
concepts:
1) Indonesia as a people’s state was a unity state which was not
divided, and was established on and in the body of undividedIndonesian people
2) Indonesia as a people’s state had a sovereignity which was
strongly upheld by the head of state, head of provinces or regions
and all Indonesian people.
3) Head of state, center of governance, regional/provincial
government and village government were elected generally by
Indonesian people through deliberations for achieving unanimity.Indonesia as a people’s state constituted a syuria’ governed-state,
based on the principle of deliberations for gaining unanimity by
knowledgeable and healthy-minded people which were elected by
the representative’s concept.
4) Deliberations, election, and renewal of thinking became the
basis of initiation and decision making of all state matters.
5) Nagari, villages, and any alliances of traditional law renewed
8/18/2019 Module 1 Pancasila and Its Development
34/127
34
through nationalism and tme reformation were made the legs or
foundation or lower lever of state order.
6) Central government was formed around the head of state
which was divided into:
a) Vice head of state,
b) Ministries, and
c) Center of representatives parliament consisting of
House of Representatives and House of Parliament.
7) Between higher level and lower level of governance, the
middle level was formed as regional government.
8) Indonesia as people’s state conducted division of state works
by way of decentralization and deconcentration which did not
recognize federalism and disintegration of state.
9) Indonesia as people’s state became a sovereign member in
the deliberations for gaining unanimity of all nations in the world.
b. State Defense
The three basic acknowledgments previously mentioned provided
basis on military, state defence through the use of weapon. Deliberationsfor gaining common agreement based on religion might result in holy or
religious wars. Traditional basis obliged us to defense our country or state
againts tyranny, while rationalism encouraged progress in war techniques.
c. Bud i Negara (State Moral/ Character)
Every state established from a perfect civilization had to possess
good moral conduct or character as a national characteristic or identity .
Good moral conduct/ character of a state constituted a rope connecting thepeople’s souls with the state or country protecting them.
1) Setia Negara (Loyalty to State)
The first state, Syailendra Srivijaya Kingdom was able to
withstand mass waves due to having moral conduct focused on
dedication in form of being loyalty to the unitary state. Not dedicating
ourselves to our state was such a big mistake. Although the kingdom
had long fallen, the culture of being loyal was still deeply instilled in
8/18/2019 Module 1 Pancasila and Its Development
35/127
35
the people. The second state, Majapahit, possessed a moral conduct
which was to completely trust the people’s power.
2) Tenaga Rakyat (People’s Power)
The second state, Majapahit became having a strong position
in Southeast Asia, especially after huge potentials of people’s power
were used as effective as possible by Mahapatih (the Great Warlord)
Gadjah Mada. Time changed, yet, people’s power remained
becoming a potential and at the present time (at that time), all
Indonesian people had gathered their common will to be
independent. Indonesian people’s wish for independence was the
basis of their good moral conduct.
3) Independence
The will to gain independence was the third state moral
conduct, Mr. Muh. Yamin explained. The value of this moral was very
high since good moral conduct was instilled in the state believing in
the One Supreme, civilized, and national God.
Kesejahteraan Rakyat (Keadilan Sosial) [ Social Welfare/Social Justice]
Mr. Muh. Yamin mentioned that a state should not be considered as a living
tie narrowing people’s lives or viewed as autocracy or oligarchy. Happiness would
occur if the state established from our civilization could secure any great changes
in constitution related to the higher, middle and lower level governances as well as
all daily economic lives. State or country should therefore relate directly to its
people’s will.
a. State’s Territory. The established state or country should include all
territories wished by the Indonesian people. This also meant these countryland having Indonesian characteristics. We did not wish any enclaves within
this country’s territory.
b. State’s People and Citizens. During the state inauguration, it had to
be decided previously who would become its citizens, regulations on
Arabian half-bred or Chinese half-bred.
c. Form of Indonesia. During the inauguration of new country or state,
there increased a member of old-aged and high-civilized world’s family with
8/18/2019 Module 1 Pancasila and Its Development
36/127
36
its extremely vast, rich, prosperous and gorgeous land as well as its
religious people. People’s welfare became the basis, goals, objectives of
nation, briefly containing people’s justice and social justice. We were
destined to turn from a colonialized territory into an independent country
during World War II owing to the help of the Japanese army and all
Indonesian people’s hard struggle. The form of independent and sovereign
Indonesia was the Republic of Indonesia, in unitaristic concept.
d. The speech delivered by Mr. Muh. Yamin was concluded by a poem.
3. Contents of Speech Delivered by Ki Bagoes Hadi Koesoemo on May
31, 1945.
If the state was messed up and there was no boundarybetween good and
evil, God would awake the prophets to lead and build the society towards justice,
security and welfare. People lived in society, and could not live without others’
help. We knew that bad attitudes made inconformity in the society. Half of the
most andgerous attitudes were greed. To prevent greed, we needed to conduct
deliberations for gaining unanimity. In attempt of making better of society, the
prophets focused on the improvements of good moral conduct. If all people
conducted a good moral, regulations were necessary in order to keep society well-regulated, secured and prosperous. There were four fundamental roles suggested
by the prophets:
a. The teaching of believing in God and spiritual objects. Believing in
God might rise good characters and moral conduct and decrease the rise of
bad attitudes.
b. The teaching of serving God, being wise and loyal to God would help
human beings. Religious teachings were at first taught, then proven to beuseful after implementating them. These ruled how humans approached to
their God.
c. The teachings to give charity or conduct good deeds. This meant that
human beings would conduct good doings to parents, children, neighbours,
guests, ancestors, and to society.
d. The teachings to fight in God’s path. This meant to voluntarily
struggle for upholding the right.
8/18/2019 Module 1 Pancasila and Its Development
37/127
37
These four teachings summed up the prophets’ teachings on improving and
building the society and state. The relationship between fellow followers of God
was like stone in the wall which reinforced each other (Prophet Mohammed SAW).
The 350 year-colonialization caused the nation to disintegrate instead of unifying
it, whereas religions were God’s guiandce towards worldly and heavenly
happiness and welfare. It was not only religious matters that could bring up any
conflicts, but also the form of states such as republic, monarchy, federal, or unitary
state might trigger them. Deliberations for unanimity had to be based on sacredy
and honesty, not individual, group, and selfishness for these might lead to
disintegration. In Koran Shura’ Nabil 14, it was mentioned that if we wished for
Indonesia having tough people then build this country based on the Koran
guiandce and hadith. If wishing for strong economic conditon, then establish a
state also based on the guiandce from the Koran. Shura’ Anfal 62 and Shof 2-3-4
and 10-11-12-13 reinforced by mentioning that if we wished for country to be
strong in its defence and security, then build it according to His guiandce. If
wishing for a just and wise government based on people’s deliberations in gaining
unanimity, we were not allowed to force a religion to someone, but establish this
country based on Islam... (Shura’ mak 90, Shura 5, Shura Al Imronisa, Shura’Syuro 38, Shura’ Baqoroh 256). For those who did not agree to establish a country
or state based on religion by other reasons, it was hoped not to mix between state
matters and religious matters. In the 6000 articles of the Koran, there were only
100 articles regulating on how to give service to God and other heavenly matters,
while the rest of them were regulating statecraft and worldly knowledge. It has
been 1400 yesars since Isamic law was applied in many Islamic countries. There
were also many who assumed that performing pray Shalaah and its obligationlaws were not suitable with modern countries. The Nederlands Indie government
had once changed Islamic law on heritance in 1922, but then returned into its
original in 1934.
There was also an attempt to change Islamic law on marriage. There had
been many Islamic laws which had been traditions in vilage culture. Most of our
heroes were courageous in struggling based on Islamic law. It was hoped that the
new Indonesia would be based on Islam and became a firm, strong, tough country.

4. Contents of Speech Delivered by Prof. Dr. Mr. Soepomo on May 31,
1945.
Mr. Soepomo mentioned that the absolute requirements for establishing a
country were the existences of territory, people, sovereign government, according
to international law, as well as requirement for defensing our homeland.
Concerning with the first absolute requirement, namely territory, Mr. Soepomo
agreed on the boundaries of Nederlands Indie, but if other territories wished to
join, like Nagari Malaka an North Borneo, we would not be objected unless our
brothers in Nagari Malaka and North Borneo would. Furthermore, concerning with
the second requirement, namely people as citizens, it was obvious that the orignal
Indonesian people would autonmatically become citizens, while the half-bred
people who wished to be our citizens had to be welcomed. The important things to
note were being aware of those who might have double nationality status or even
losing nationality.
The absolute requirements of running a government were having a
sovereign government according to International Law. There were 3 description of
state according to what basis the state would be established:
a. Staat union (cenheidsetaat) or united states (Brudstaat) or as statechanging (sttenbond)
b. The relationship between states and religion
c. Choosing either Republic or Monarchy
Therefore, we needed to know the theories on states and thinking flow of
states. We needed to discuss the basis on governance system for sovereign
governace according to the international law, whether it would be state union,
united states or federation, the relationship between states and religion, andwhether it would be in form of republic or monarchy. Thus, according to Mr.
Soepomo, it was necessary to understand the theories regaring states.
a. Theory of Individualism by Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, Jean
Jaques Rosseau, Herbert Spencer, as well as H.J. Larki argued that a state
was a law society established from contracts among all individuals in that
society. Theory of individualism grew and flourished in West Europe
countries and the USA.
8/18/2019 Module 1 Pancasila and Its Development
39/127
39
b. Theory of Class by Karl Marx, Engel, and Lenin argued that a state
was a tool used by a particular class to oppress other classes. Capitalistic
state was the tool used by the bourgoisie to oppress the working class
(labours). That is why, it was necessarry to do revolution by the working
class (labours) to reclaim power from the bourgoisie, so that the working
class might oppress the opposite class, in turn.
c. Theory of Integralistic by Spinoza, Adam Muller, and Hegel argued
that a state was established not for individual or group/class own interests,
but to secure the entire people’s interests as a unity. A state was an
integralistic arrangement of community. All groups/ classes unified as
organic community. A state did not side with one particular strong or weak
group or class, nor sided with individual interests. A state existed to
guarantee the entire nation life security as an inseparable unity.
In addition, Mr. Soepomo mentioned that we could not just imitate or copy
the other countries. Each state or country has its own charateristics and
socioculture so that what might good for a state was not also good to the others.
The structure of Indonesia as a state should be adjusted to Indonesian social
structure itself. West Europe with its individualism and liberalism had separatedeach individual from his social community and there appeared spiritual crisis. This
nature had to be avoided from Indonesia’s national development. Soviet Union
with its “proletariate dictatorship” might be suitable with social condition of
Soviet Union, however, that was in contrast with the original characteristics of
Indonesian people. Germany with its national socialism now had given up during
the war. Totalitarian principles were related to the same origin and territory in
terms of relationship between leaders and its people. This national socialism wasa unity principle between the leaders and its people and in line with the Eastern
traditions. Japan was based on eternal unity between Emperor, state, and
people. Tennoo was the spiritual center of the entire people and state on the basis
of kinship solidarity. These unity and kinship solidarity principles were suitable for
Indonesia. Mental spirit and spiritual structure of the Indonesian people were
having characteristics and ideals of life unity, unity between humans as servants
and God , unity between microcosmos and macrocosmos, and unity between
8/18/2019 Module 1 Pancasila and Its Development
40/127
40
people and their leaders. The original characterics of Indonesian statecraft could
still be seen up until today (at that time) in forms of villages, both inside and
outside Java in which the leaders unified with their people. Head or leaders of
people who held onto traditions always performed deliberations for achieving
common consensus.
In the nuance of unity between people and its leaders, all groups or classes
were covered in the spirit of kinship solidarity and gotong royong (cooperative).
Indonesia had to embrace theory of integralistic, theory of unity of state and it s
people and for dealing with Indonesian people’s characteristics. Theory of
integralistic did not ignore the existence of classes or groups and individuals.
State acknowledged the existence of groups or classes in real society, yet all
individuals and groups/classes would submit themselves to the state thoroughly as
organic parts.
Mr. Soepomo also suggested that religious and state matters be separated
in the unity state. We would not establish an Islamic state. It was different the
definition between Islamic state and a state based on the ideals of Islamic law. In
an Islamic state,state and religion were united. Turkey was once an Islamic state,
but in 1924, it was not an Islamic state anymore although nearly all of its peoplewere Moslems. Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia were still Islamic states. Ye, we
would not imitate them since Indonesia had different characteristics from them.
Those countries still considered adaptations of Sharia’/Islamic law to International
needs and the present modern needs. If we were about to establish an islamic
state, we would be dragged into being overwhelmed by that issue and we would
not be able to establish unity since establishing an islamic state meant that state
unified itself with the major or dominan groups or classes and would later causeminderheadan of the minorities.
We should establish a national state united in terms of totalitarian. Unity
state did not mean a religionless state, since it still held onto a good moral conduct
and people’s moral ideals firmly which were suggested by Islam. We did not
establish as federation state, either. Policy on centralization and decentralization
depended on the respective time,place, and issue. Monarchy or republic was only
a matter of form. The important thing was how the head of state unified with its

people.we should not imitate the Werterners in electing our leaders since their
individualism teachings were pretty mush different from Indonesian characteristics.
To guarantee the leaders unified with their people, a kind of house of
representatives needed establishing. Head of state should continuously mingle
with this institution so as to figure out people’s will. Unity of leaders and their
people should be forwarded to heads of regional level, even those of villages or of
ethnics / groups of people.
In an integralistic state, the relation of state and economic followed the
system of state socialism stating that the vital companies would be organized by
state. State would determine time, place and companies necessarily managed by
central government or private sectors for the sake of state and people’s interests.
In term of land, state authorized all lands and vital mines, yet lands for agricultural
sector remained on the farmers’ hands, remembering that the majority of
Indonesian people were farmers. Economic of state would be based on kinship
solidarity principle. Therefore, cooperative system should become Indonesian
economic basis.
5. Contents of Speech Delivered by Ir. Soekarno on June 1, 1945.
For three consecutive days, there had been many who delivered speeches,but the contents were not what BPUPKI needed, which was state philosophical
foundation (phi losoph ische grondslag ). Ir. Soekarno argued that “being
independent” meant political independence. We should not be too complicated in
defining “being independent.” Saudi Arabia gained its independence when more
than 80% of its people were illiterate. Independence was like being on a bridge
and across the bridge. That was why, we needed to make perfect of the people.
We should not think too complicated about a lot of things and be afraid of gettingindependence. We only needed to gain our independence right now, now, and
now (at that time).soviet Union, Saudi Arabia and the USA were apparently able to
maintain its independence. Struggling for independence was like getting married,
he said. There were those who dared to get married early, those who were afraid
to do so, those who thought of having a house first before getting married, etc. Our
brother, Marhaen, was brave enough to get married although he only had a mat
and a hut. We wished for independence now or never.

After gaining independence, then we freed our people one by one. Then,
we worked hard for their welfare, discussing the state philosophical foundation,
philosophische grondslag , weltanschaung. Hitler built Germany on the basis of
national sozialistische weltanschaung . Lenin established Soviet Union on the basis
of Marxistische, while Nippon (Japan) built Dai Nippon on the basis of Tennoo
Koodoo Seishin. Ibnu Islam Said built Arab based on religion. We needed to
determine first weltanschaung before Indonesia gaining independence and
idealists in the world working very hard to formulate and realize their
weltanschaung. Lenin established Soviet Union in 10 days in 1917, yet he had
prepared weltanschaung in 1895. Hitler took over in 1935, yet he had prepared
since 1922. Dr. Sun Yat Sen built China in 1912, yet he had prepared for
weltanschaung since 1885, namely San Min Chu I.
Kebangsaan (Nat ional ism)
We did not establish a state or country only for one individual, one group or
class, but for all people so that the first basis for Indonesia was national principle.
We were about to establish Indonesia national state. National principle in this case
did not mean in its narrow term. Ernest Rehan defined a nation as Le desir d 'etre
ensemble , a will to unify. Otto Bauer stated, “ a nation is a unity of behaviours by
unity of fate.” These two definitions were outdated after the emergence of
geopolitics in which the object was unity of people and their place. We did not only
talk about a nation, but also its homeland. Minangkabau people everywhere also
felt desir d'etre ensemble although this group was only a small part of Nusantara.
The common thing also happened to the Yogyanese, Sunandese, and Bugis
people. Nationale staat included all Indonesian people and territory which was a
unitary. Based on history, we had twice experienced nationale staat, duringSrivijaya and Majapahit periods. During the Mataram Kingdom period, we were
indeed independent but not in form of nationale staat. The classical Chinese
people did not wish any nationale staat for they embraced cosmopolitanism.
However, thanks to Dr. Sun Yat Sen, it changed.
Internasionalism
There was a danger in national principle, which wsas the emergence of
chauvinism leading to uber alles Indonesia. We loved the one homeland; felt
8/18/2019 Module 1 Pancasila and Its Development
43/127
43
having one nation, one language, but Indonesia was only a small part of the world.
We would establish an independent Indonesia as well as aiming at forging kinship
between nations. Internationalism could not thrive if not grounded on nationalism,
while nationalism needed internationalism. The first and second principle stood
tightly hand in hand.
Mufakat (Unanimity/Common Consensus), Perwakilan
(Representatives), and Permus yawaratan (Deliberations)
We did not establish a nation only for one individual, one group/class, but
for all, all for one and one for all. To make a state strong, representatives and
deliberations for gaining unanimity were necessary. This was the best place to
look after religion for Islam. By deliberations for gaining unanimity, we improved
everything related to religious matters. The religious groups could use this
principle to fight for its interests.
Social Welfare
For three consecutive days, no one mentioned anything about welfare
principle or poverty in Indonesia. Ir. Soekarno questioned whether we wished for
independence with capitalists thriving or with prosperous people. Even though
there was house of representatives in Europe and the USA, apparently capitalists
flourished there. Democracy we needed was not Western democracy, but that of
living living friendly, a kind of political economic democracy which could provide
social welfare. We knew the story of Ratu Adil (the concept of Just King) in which
poor people struggled for creating a new world which was more prosperous, and
led by Ratu Adil . Not only did we have common politics, but also that of economic,
namely common welfare. Our house of representatives was not merely a house of
representatives of political democracy, but also realizing two principles, politicherechtvaadigheid and sociale recht vaardigheid . In this institution, we discussed all
matters, including those of head of state. It was expected that a head of state be
elected and a state not in monarch system.
We already had four principles, namely Indonesian nationalism,
internationalism, humanity, and common consensus or democracy and social
welfare. The fifth principle was Ketuhanan (belief in God). Not only did Indonesian
people have and believe in God in cultural way, with no religiousness selfishness.
8/18/2019 Module 1 Pancasila and Its Development
44/127
44
It was also suggested to embrace religion in a civilized manner, respectful to each
other, having and believing in God and conducting good attitude s well as moral
conduct. These five principles were not called Pancadharma since dharma meant
obligations. These were called Pancasila since sila meant principle or foundation.
If there was any objection, it could be compressed. National and national
internationalism as well as humanity could be compressed into socionationalism
democracy and welfare could be compressed into 3, namely socio democratie and
the left was ketuhanan ( belief in God) with respect ful principle to each other. From
five principles, it ws compressed into three, namely socionalionalism,
sociodemocratie and ketuhanan. These were then caslled Trisila if there was still
any objection, then it could be compressed into 1, gotong royong (cooperative
based on kinship solidarity). This would be established-Indonesia had to be based
on gotong royong principle, and be called Ekasila.
There was not any weltanschaung manifesting into reality without hard
struggle. It was necessary to struggle hard to realize Pancasila. The establishment
of Pancasila did not mean that our struggle had ended. We had just started it from
now, instead, but with different characteristics.
After the first official session, there were a number of unofficial sessionsduring the vacan time between the two official sessions; among others were
Panitia 9 (Committee of Nine) session by Moh. Hatta, Muh. Yamin, Subardjo,
Maramis, Ir. Soekarno, K.H Abdul Kahar Muzakir, Wachid Hasyim, Abikusno
Tjokro Soejoso, and Haji Agus Salim. They successfully formulated concept of the
Preamble of 1945 Constitution of independent Indonesia they called Djakarta
Charter and signed on June 22, 1945. This concept was reported by Ir. Soekarno
in the second official session of BPUPKI on July 10,1945. In this concept, statephilosophical foundation read, “Ketuhanan, dengan kewajiban menjalankan syariat
Islam bagi pemeluk-pemeluknya, menurut dasar kemanusiaan yang adil and
beradab, persatuan Indonesia, dan kerakyatan yang dipimpin oleh hikmat
kebijaksanaan dalam permusyawaratan perwakilan serta dengan mewujudkan
keadilan sosial bagi seluruh rakyat Indonesia” ( Belief in Almighty God with the
obligation for its Muslim adherents to carry out the Islamic law/sharia’).
After delivering speech on this Preamble,Ir. Soekarno added, among
8/18/2019 Module 1 Pancasila and Its Development
45/127
45
others, " masuk di dalamnya ketuhanan dan terutama sekali kewajiban umat
Islam untuk menjalankan syariat Islam, masuk di dalamnya kebulatan
nasionalisme Indonesia, persatuan bangsa Indonesia masuk di dalamnya,
keadilan sosial, sociale recht vaardigheid masuk di dalamnya. Maka oleh karena
itu, panitia kecil penyelidik usul-usul berkeyakinan bahwa inilah preambul yang
dapat menghubungkan dan mempersatukan semua aliran yang ada di kalangan
anggota-anggota Dokuritsu Zyunbi Tyoosakai ...." (.. included therein the principle
of believing in God and especially, obligations for Muslim adherents to carry out
Islamic law/sharia’; covering determination of Indonesian nationalism, unity of
Indonesian people, social welfare, sociale recht vaardigheid. Therefore, sub
committee of idea investigation believed that this is the preamble able to connect
and all teachings existing among the members of Dokuritsu Zyunbi Tyoosakai ....)
In later question and answer session,there was an objection of whether or
not to include the statement of obligations to perform Islamic law for its adherents,
since it might emerge conflicts between traditional law and religious law, especially
i terms of heritage matters (Minangkabau tradition) and of land property
(Malukunese tradition). This was questioned by Laturharhary.
Ir. Soekarno answered by saying that it probably need not repeat that
preamble the national groups and Muslim groups. So, if this sentence was not
included, he believed that the Moslems could not accept this Preamble. Haji Agus
Salim added explanation regarding the relation of Minangkabau traditin and
Islamic sharia’.
In the second official session of BPUPKI on July 14, 1945, chairperson of
Constitution Committee, Ir. Soekarno, reported that the concept Pernyataan
Indonesia Merdeka ( Statement of Independent Indonesia). This statement wassimilar to Declaration of Independence of the USA. It started with the first
paragraph of Preamble of Constitution (Djakarta Charter) continued by the
reasons why Indonesia declared its independence, then continued on to the
second paragraph of Preamble. Next, in the third paragraph, there was a
statement reading,” ….... MENYATAKAN KEMERDEKAANNYA ...." (“...declare
its independence); written in bold and capital letter. In the fourth paragraph, state
philosophical foundation was still the same with that of Djakarta charter. There
8/18/2019 Module 1 Pancasila and Its Development
46/127
46
was no change in state philosophical foundation even until BPUPKI ended its
sessions.
The first session of PPKI (( Committee for the Preparation of Indonesian
Independence) on August 18, 1945, in Tjuo o Sangi In building (now Ministry of
Foreign Affairs) was chaired and opened by Ir. Soekarno which then continued by
Drs. Moh. Hatta as his deputy to deliver a speech on; obliteration of statement of
Independent Indonesia and the old Preamble the replaced it with that of designed
by Sub Committee (Panitia Kecil). Next, it was continued by reading Chapter IV
State Philosophical Foundation reading, "Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa, menurut
dasar kemanusiaan yang adil and beradab, persatuan Indonesia, kerakyatan
yang dipimpin oleh hikmat kebijaksanaan dalam permusyawaratan
perwakilan, serta dengan mewujudkan suatu keadilan sosial bagi seluruh
rakyat Indonesia." (Believe in the One and Only God; on the basis of just and
civilized humanity; the unity of Indonesia; democracy guided by the inner wisdom
in the unanimity arising out of deliberations amongst representatives; as well as by
realizing social justice for all people of Indonesia).Ki Bagus Hadikusumo
suggested that the statement menurut dasar kemanusiaan yang adi l dan
beradab (on the basis of just and civilized humanity) be obliterated.In the end of session, it was agreed that the Preamble of Constitution as
mentioned in Chapter IV State Philosophical Foundation reading, “Believing in
One Supreme God, Just and Civilized Humanity, Unity of Indonesia, Democracy
Guided by the Inner Wisdom in the Unanimity Arising Out of Deliberations
Amongst Representatives; Social Justice for All People of Indonesia). The
Preamble of Constitution was then legal ever since.
The contents of speeches delivered by Mr. Muh Yamin and Ir. Soekarnowere almost similar. Both proposed five principles and started with word
Kebangsaan (Nationalism). For the second principle, Mr. Muh. Yamin proposed
Peri Kemanusiaan (humanity), while Ir. Soekarno proposed Internationalism/Peri
Kemanusiaan (humanity). Peri Ketuhanan (Belief in God) was proposed by Mr.
Muh. Yamin as the third principle, while Ir. Soekarno proposed it as the fifth
principle. For the fourth principle, Mr. Muh. Yamin proposed peri kerakyatan,
permusyawaratan, dan kesejahteraan (people’state, deliberations, and welfare),

while Ir. Soekarno made it the third principle mufakat, perwakilan, and
permusyawaratan (unanimity, representatives, and deliberations). Kesejahteraan
rakyat ( People’s Welfare) was proposed as the fifth princ iple by Muh. Yamin,
