Abstract

Fifth Amendment of 1945 Constitution of Republic of Indonesia constitutes a political and constitutional must in order to increase people welfare. Amendments in 1999 and 2002 have not been able to answer the concept of Pancasila Rule of Law followed by Indonesian people so then it is necessary to be re-amended. This is due to the implementation of check and balance system among state institutions stipulated in 1945 Constitution of Republic of Indonesia is not ideal yet so it needs an empowerment through constitution amendment.
