Opinion - The Idea

Ruler vs. the People
Indonesia is building incarnation berdasrkan State above the law (Article 1 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution) and democratic. Indonesia does not want the State's stand on the basis of power.

Since 68 years of Indonesian independence, justice and prosperity screams still inflamed. 

Imagine, a desire for justice and prosperity are the demands of the rights possessed by each individual community and certainly must necessarily be met by the State.

However, the power to Indonesiaan current climate, there is also good to show i'tikad really meweujudkan it, where the transition period of the current government are not considered responsive to the demands of the people of Indonesia are now well up ahead. 

Even considered by some experts in constitutional law and most state politicians, the pengabsah authoritarian and "executive heavy" contained in the government during this time. 

The emergence of injustice, ketidaksejahteraan, liability, etc., is the ending of action irresponsible abuse of power. It is reflected in the various formulas dcemikian laws are made.

In fact, in principle, the law should be aspirational product, according to the needs and development of society, guaranteeing freedom of the people to develop themselves and to prevent and protect the public from the things that impede, impair and destroy value - the value of human and social life.

The rights contained in the sacred document (constitution) Indonesia, illustrates how many people's rights that must be met by the State, rather than shackled. 

This incident seemed to give spectacle last days of history, in which the historical reality kings rule was absolute. 

That when his royal arbitrariness without limits makes the rights of citizens bound, all seuatunya determined by the will of the king, while the oppressed citizens.

The birth of the Constitution, which is part of the historical necessity is the paradigm of modern law as a form of restraint on the power of government in ensuring justice, prosperity, freedom, and rights of citizens.

But unfortunately, the power of the constitution as the filter is not yet able to power it mengbungkus meetings. 

In order not happen arbitrariness. This is important, because the consideration that it is not possible power entrusted solely on moral and ethical considerations.

Power has its own logic, though he held the philosophy by, pilgrimage chaplain, and pastor. Lord Acton, English historian once said that "power tends to corrupt, but absolute power corrupts absolutely".

Means that people who have power tend to abuse the power, but the man who has absolute power will be absolute tyrant's hand.

It seems that what Lord Acton said very well, for many the reality that case.
Even the title of chaplain, Father, Statesman was also caught up in the pleasures of power are blinded heart.

Morals and ethics no longer ignored. This also triggers the emergence of gaps between the leader and his people.

And power-hungry leaders who abuse it, versus the people thirst for justice and prosperity. Until finally, the emergence of the gap between the leaders and the led (the people).

Though in principle, spiritual and physical unity between authorities (state leaders) become lighter with the realization of the values ​​of justice and of course have an effect on welfare enhancement

As ever in kumandangkan by Hegel regarding the idea of ​​the principle of unity between the leaders and the people and the principle of the unity of the whole country.

This principle mengaminkan as a parable, in which the leaders and people as one body. 

When the members of the body, the other pain was felt. When people suffer from it pemimpn suffering and immediately intervene to overcome the pain (to help ease).

Rather than add to the suffering of those with sucking rights and obligations forget. 

Previously, the Japanese military government never gave advice and propose to Soepomo through "somubucho" (Head of the General Affairs Department) regarding the Japanese totalitarian state ideology originate on the unity of the eternal, birth, and the glorious spiritual "teno Heika" (emperor; center spiritual people), the State, and the people of Japan. 

Advice is then tried in the formulation Soepomo actualised by Indonesian constitution first.

Any ideas as brilliant, sometimes differ from actualization. Present condition proves that the ideals of State (staatside) with the condition today is much different state.

Or in other words: in sollen das das sein (dutch) or expectations and reality (English), different expectations and reality. 

Nevertheless, hopes and ideals still have to be an ideal benchmark, the nation's journey toward the ideal expectation is realized it is a matter of justice and prosperity that is not merely utopian. 

To what part of the state and this nation if the nation was "hanging towel" in the care of his people.

The government is ruling duties and responsibilities under the law-in which they are paid to do the act of public money-and the government is not the ruler of the country and people ..

The theory is a collection of the government servant, and maid servant who works for the good of the people who pay their salaries.
