When as we know that Pancasila is the foundation of country,
the Indonesian life guidelines as a living view, way of life and
life goals, as the foundation of the idiil and the foundation of real as well as ideology and
the state falsafah.

social justice.
h) That maintains and embodied the execution of Pancasila and
UUD 1945 let us be together.

his understanding will blur and allegiances to Pancasila, over-more
generation to It's coming down and the Pancasila's just gonna be
memories.
7. From the description and the data above can be drawn to the conclusion that
Pancasila was excavated from the fundamental values, values of personality and values
the culture of the people of the ancestors of the Indonesian nation. Thus
Pancasila is a fused soul and rooted in blood and blood
meat for the Indonesian people, hence the so-called "true" Pancasila man (Pancasilais).
8. What about the WNI 's descendants who are indeed their ancestors
is not an Indonesian nation, which does not have basic values, values
personality, cultural values and the sublime values of the nation' s culture
9
as the ancestors of the Indonesian people, do they have this
understand, memorise, and exude Pancasila?
While they never learned the moral knowledge of Pancasila and
participate in the P4 exposure because of the small schools overseas if inside
the country is limited in their communities.
Therefore the applicant please to the Constitutional Court in order
a statement of loyalty to the Pancasila should be attached to
a certificate that states once followed the central level of P4
for the candidate of the President/Vice President, Caleg, Governor and beyond
in accordance with its level of origin, especially for the descendants of the WNI.

Pancasila, Basic Law 1945 and the Proclamation of 17 August
1945 conducted by the President, Vice President, Regional Chief, Deputy
Regional Head, Member of the DPD, Member of the House, DPRD Province or DPRD
City/County. It should be in effect a liability term with
Leader of the Political Party or the Combined Political Party which provides Warranty and Recommend.

group, that is:
a. European group
b. Chinese, Indian, and other Asian types
c. Indigenous group
12.That Article 6 of the paragraph (1) Basic Law of 1945 does not divide and
limit the group of Indonesian citizens, essentially all citizens
Indonesia can or may be the candidate of the President, Vice President
also the Regional Government Act and the Election Act.
13.Pemapplicant is aggrieved in the presence of Article 6 of the paragraph (1) Invite-
The Basic Invite of 1945 is due to more competition and
narrowing chances of the applicant and his descendants even for all
citizens of the native Indonesian people to being the candidate for President and Vice
President, Governor, Regent, Mayor, and legislative member in
overall due to competition for public office
10
it is no longer seen from the program and the credibility of the candidate is concerned
but is more emphasized in consideration of matter. As for other reasons
is also due to differences in principle and personality and
cultural characters with Indonesian citizens of descent.
On the basis of those reasons above the applicant pledging to
the Court The Constitution tests the Act of Pilpres, the Act
Election, the Act of Pemda as outlined in
Article 6 of the paragraph (1) of the Basic Law of 1945 with 2 (two) options
alternatives, namely:

Amendment that reads "President is the Native Indonesians".

of a variety of non-heterogeneous, non-heterogeneous people, not
such as heterogeneous Americans and consisting of various peoples,
Europe, Africa, and the multi-ethnic Asia.
15.Besides that our democracy is not a liberal democracy like America but
we adhere to Pancasila democracy.
16.That the applicant argues Article 6 of the paragraph (1) of the Basic Law 1945
contrary to Pancasila when it should be Article 6 of the paragraph
(1) It must be a guideline to Pancasila because Pancasila is
the source of all national law sources.
17.Pemapplicant realizes that changing the Basic Law is not
the Constitutional Court's authority, but if expecting MPR

[3.8] weighed that based on Article 51 of the paragraph (1) MK Act and
the Court's ruling on legal standing (legal standing) as well as
is associated with the loss experienced by the applicant, according to the Court:
The applicant has a constitutional right granted by the Constitution of 1945,
in particular Article 6 of the paragraph (1), and the applicant considers the constitutional right
to be harmed by the enactment of the Act of the Motion

a a quo plea, and the applicant has a legal position (legal standing)
to apply for a quo, next The Court will
consider the subject of a request;
Subject to
Court opinion
[3.10] A draw that before considering the subject,
The court needs to quote Article 54 of the MK Act. which states, "Court
Constitution can request the captions and/or meeting treatises
with the application being checked out to the Consultative Assembly
People, DPR, Council Regional Representative, and/or President" in doing
testing For an Act. In other words, the Court may

Article 51 paragraph (1) letter f Act 8/2012, as well as Article 58 of the letter b Act 32/2004 Against
18
Section 6 of the paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution for that reason in paragraph
[3.7];
[3.12] Draw that after the Court examined with the witness
a request a quo and the evidence The papers submitted by the applicant,
The court argued for the following:
The suggestion that in its request, the applicant postulate, among others:
1. That one of the requirements of being a candidate for President and a candidate for Vice
The President defined in Article 5 of the letter m Act 42/2008 is, "faithful
to Pancasila as the basis of the state, the State Basic Law
The Republic of Indonesia in 1945, and the ideals of the Proclamation of 17 August 1945.
According to the Applicant Explanation of Section 5 of the letter m which states,
"The Requirements of Loyalty to Pancasila as the basis of the state, Invite-
Invite the State of the Republic of Indonesia in 1945, and ideals

recommendations and Such warranties;
2. That the requirements of being an Election participant in the House members ' Election
People's Representative, Regional Representative Council, and the House of Representatives
People's Regional and Provincial People's Region/City under Article 12 of the letter f and

"allegiance to Pancasila as the basis of the state, the Basic Law
The Republic of Indonesia in 1945, and the ideals of Proclamation 17
August 1945". According to the applicant a loyal statement to Pancasila
as the basis of the state, the Basic Law of 1945 signed
by the will of the candidate in question on the papers of the signet
as determined in General Election Commission Rule
19
13 Year 2008 and the Election Commission Regulation No. 18 Year
2008 did not have a strong legal force;
3. That Article 58 of the letter b 32/2004, states the candidate of the Regional Head
and the Deputy Head of the Regions are the citizens of the Republic of Indonesia who
qualify, among them, "loyal to Pancasila as the Basis
The State, Constitution of the State of the Republic of Indonesia in 1945,
ideals Proclamation 17 August 1945, and to the State of the Union
Republic of Indonesia as well as the Government ". According to the applicant, the statement
" faithful " as described in the Description of Section 58 of the letter b
and " letter of information never sentenced to prison ..." as
stated in the General Election Commission Regulation No. 68 Year
2009 does not have a strong legal force as a guarantee that

the base of the country, the Basic Law of the Republic of the Republic of Indonesia of the Year
1945, and the ideals of the Proclamation 17 August 1945.

Pancasila as the Basic State, the Constitution of the Republic of the Republic

4. The applicant pleaded with the Court to conduct the testing and
the interpretation of all three Acts against Article 6 of the paragraph
(1) of the 1945 Constitution.
[3.13] A draw that according to the post court is irrelevant
with the petitum in the a quo plea, cause in the a quo application
The applicant pleads for the Court to interpret " allegiance to Pancasila
as the Basic State, the Basic Law of the State of the Republic of Indonesia Year
1945, ideals of the Proclamation of Independence August 17, 1945, and to the State
Unity of the Republic of Indonesia as well as the The government " in the chapters a quo, will
but not a clear description of the conflict with the 1945 Constitution,

and/or section of the Act is considered to be contrary to the Act
Basic State of the Republic of Indonesia in 1945 ". Thus the description in
