"Pancasila" is a short answer to BPUPKI's question in the June 1, 1945 session, "...on what basis was this independent state of Indonesia founded"?. The founding fathers have agreed to establish Pancasila as a basic principle of the Indonesian nation and state, because the values it contains are an objective reality that lives and develops in Indonesian society as a materialist cause that is believed to be true. However, in decades of historical development, especially since the reform and post-reform, objectively Pancasila faces various problems and the increasing demands of the people because it is increasingly far from welfare and social justice. More than that, even Pancasila is used as an illegal tool for the rulers to maintain political power.
