The Value of Pancasila as an Ideological Based for the Development of the Legal System in Indonesia

Abstract

Indonesia is a multicultural society with personal and group consciousness. Legal progress in Indonesia was influenced by cultural and community awareness. Indonesia is a multicultural culture with diverse legal awareness. Although Indonesia has many cultures, the equation should be applied to construct a legal union. Pancasila is the intellectual foundation for Indonesia's unitary state; hence, passing a national law must be founded on it and the 1945 Constitution as the supreme rule to achieve national unity. This study will show that the law enacted today does not reflect Pancasila and impressed liberalism because it is draughted and enforced on the basis of normative thinking rather than empirical thinking about the case and plural society. Methodology Pancasila and culture's role in legislation that impacts the other will be thoroughly examined in this article. Thus, for the welfare of the nation and public awareness of the law, this study will explain the need for systemic and continuous legal systems that reflect the Indonesian nation, namely Pancasila-based legislation.
