1. For what purpose the constitution is given opportunity to be amended? Firstly, from the history we see that in 1945, UUD 1945 is still uncertain. The framers of the UUD itself was aware that the UUD is a constitution that is not certain that must be resolved because of the encouragement the situation at that time. The framers of the UUD should proclaim the independence of Indonesia as fast as they can at that time. But with changing times, Indonesian society is a society that grows in terms of governance, social behavior, and also the influence of changing era. So the constitution is also need to be ammanded to follow the changes that occur in the time.
In addition the UUD is essentially still having a lot weakness in terms of conceptual and legal terms. For example the system of government that gives too much power to the president and also the principle of popular sovereignty represented by the MPR as stipulated by the UUD 45, both of these have been shown to lead to abuse of power, cause authoritarian rule, corrupt, and oppress the people and creating state governance poorly.
2. Why the amendment is only done to the articles of the body of the constitution while the preamble is remains still?
Basically, Preamble of the UUD `45 is covering the main frame of the fundamental rules of Indonesia, such as: the nature of the country (alinea 2), form nations (alinea 4), the basic state (alinea 4), destination country (alinea 4). so if there is a amendement in the Preamble of UUD`45, that means there will be changes also in the nature of the state, the state form, the basic state, destination state. And this is the same as the total building remodel the State of NKRI.
