Thus, it means the Homeland also classified as a country adopts Representative Democracy (Representative Democracy). Determination of the idea of democracy as the relationship between the people setting arrangements on the one hand with the other hand state by the Founding Fathers Indonesia sits on the BPUPKI, would not be released from the fact that some of its biggest ever Western educated, either follow directly in the countries of Western Europe (especially the Netherlands), as well as follow through on further education and higher education organized by the Dutch colonial government in Indonesia since a few decades earlier, so it was quite familiar with developing the teaching of democracy in the countries of Western Europe and the United States. Plus the atmosphere at the time (August 1945) states adherents of democracy has come out as the winner of World War II. In the practice of national life since the early days of independence to the present, are in fact representative democracy that is run in Indonesia consists of several models of democracy representatives differ from each other. In line with the implementation of the Provisional Constitution of 1950 (UUDS 1950) Indonesia practice models Parlemeter Pure Democracy (or also called Liberal Democracy), which is characterized by a long sad story about the instability of government (executive = Cabinet) and the almost endless the ideological conflict in the Constituent June-July 1959. In order to overcome potential conflicts scatters the Republic of Indonesia, on July 5, 1959, the President issued a Presidential Decree Ir.Soekarno re-enact the 1945 Constitution, and since then also applied the model of Democracy Guided claimed in accordance with the state ideology of Pancasila and understand Integralistic that teach about the unity between the people and the country.
