The Indonesian Constitution has specific purposes and functions in ensuring democracy and human rights. As a legal instrument of democracy, the Constitution is important in a country's legal system. General elections are an important moment in realizing the sovereignty of citizens. The Indonesian system of government, as stipulated in the 1945 Constitution and its explanations, is a democracy, both in direct and representative forms.
