1.              Background

Settings on the basis of the State, the form of state, form of government, state code (law) , the character of democracy, system administration and the things that are more fundamental. The 1945 Constitution both before the amendment and after the amendment according to the writer's understanding has not clearly stipulated this matter. In regard to national and state life law in Indonesia Bung Karno had put the " Pancasila as Filosophisce Grongslag " Pancasila as the foundation of basic philosophy above which built the nation and the State of Indonesia. This principle is not yet understood with both at the level of the concept and at the level of practice. In order to conduct a study that is fundamental towards the character of the Pancasila legal state in Indonesia , the principle of Pancasila as the foundation of the State that gave birth to two very basic principles in Indonesia is to be studied seriously . The two principles in question are:

1). Pancasila Rule of Law; and

2). Principles of Pancasila Democracy.

          II. DISCUSSION OF STRENGTHENING AND STRENGTHENING OF THE PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM BASED ON PROVISIONS ON THE STATE LAW OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA OF 1945

1.              Arrangement of Presidential System in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia

Read, understand and follow the history of the enactment of the 1945 Constitution prior to the Presidential Decree of July 5, 1959, after the Presidential Decree and Post Amendments I, II, III, and IV there has been no explicit regulation regarding the Presidential system. System concept Presidential: President chosen by citizen, Definitely presidential term is now 5 years and can only be selected once again, the strong position of the President, vice-President of the spare tire, and Ministers are assistants to the President. According to the opinion of the author of the presidential system writers who were embraced in Indonesia should have a character or identity that was born from the spirit of Pancasila Legal Philosophy . For the purposes to study of the affirmation and strengthening of the Presidential system in the State of Law based on Pancasila ,  then began a review of Pancasila as:

a.      State Administration Law ( in the layer of Pancasila Law ) .

b.      Basic State of Pancasila.

The study of Pancasila as an ideological formula on the basis of the state is outlined in the 1945 Constitution (AMWPranarka, 1985: p. 320). The status of Pancasila as the basis of the country has been widely discussed, including:

1) . In his speech Notonagoro entitled: A Few Things Regarding Philosophy

Pancasila, argues that Pancasila is: Staatfundamentalnorm. ( Notonagoro, 1970: p.20);

2) . A. Hamid S. Attamimi in a paper entitled: Pancasila Cita Hukum dalam

        The Legal Life of the Indonesian Nation (1991);

3). Bung Karno in his speech said; that Pancasila as

      "Philosophische Grondslag" or the basic philosophy of the mind as deep as-

       therein for which Indonesia was established. (Kirdi Dipoyudo, 1984: p.10)

The study foundations and perspectives used for the three sources above vary, but the studies needed are appropriate studies in placing Pancasila as the basis of the state and the Republic of Indonesia's Constitutional Law. Excerpted from the writings of Philipus M. Hadjon, Pancasila as the basis of the state and state administration law, According to AMWPranarka explained there are three stages of the evolution of the status of Pancasila.

1.      National ideology regarding the basis of the state (BPUPKI);

2.      The ideology of nationality was set out as the basis of the state in the constitution (18 August 1945);

3.      Critical phase, in this critical phase there is an exploitation of the status of Pancasila as the basis of the state, the source of law and national ideology ( AMWPranarka, 1985: p.320,321).

From the above explanation about the position of Pancasila as the country's basis can be detailed as follows:

1.              Bung Karno: Saying Pancasila as "Philosophische Grondslag".

2.              Notonagoro: Expressing Pancasila as "Staats Fundamental Norm".

3.              A.Hamid.S.Attamimi: Stating aside as Staatsfundamental norm " or" Grund Norm "and Pancasila is " Rechtsidee ".

           III.CLOSING
