The Essence of the Phrase "by the Grace of Almighty God" in Indonesian Legislation
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study aims to explore the essence of the phrase "By the Grace of Almighty God" in Indonesian legislation using philosophical, historical, and legal approaches. The findings of this study reveal that, from a legislative perspective, Pancasila functions as the grundnorm (fundamental norm) agreed upon by the nation, guiding the formulation of legal norms that reflect the noble values of the Indonesian people. The concept of divinity, explicitly articulated in various regulations, underscores the significance of spirituality within Indonesia's legal framework. The inclusion of the phrase "By the Grace of Almighty God" signifies that it is not merely an expression of religious belief but also a foundational principle that unifies and guides the legal order as well as the nation's social and political life.
