Abstract

The constitution serves as the fundamental legal framework that governs the organisation of the state, regulates the exercise of governmental power, and safeguards the fundamental rights of citizens. A comprehensive understanding of constitutional principles is therefore essential for students of Constitutional Law, particularly those studying at Islamic higher education institutions, where constitutional studies may intersect with Islamic legal thought, democratic values, and the principles of justice. This study aims to examine the level of constitutional understanding among Constitutional Law students at Islamic higher education institutions and to identify the academic factors that shape their perceptions of constitutional principles and their implementation in state governance. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study explores students’ comprehension of constitutional supremacy, the rule of law, the separation of powers, human rights, and the relationship between constitutional values and Islamic principles. The study also considers the role of higher education in fostering constitutional awareness, critical legal reasoning, and democratic citizenship. A sound understanding of the constitution is expected to strengthen students’ capacity to analyse constitutional issues critically and to appreciate the constitution as both a legal foundation and a normative framework for democratic governance. Ultimately, enhancing constitutional literacy among law students is crucial to developing future legal professionals who are committed to upholding the rule of law, protecting human rights, and promoting justice within Indonesia’s constitutional system.
