Constitution is a resultante, a result of citizens agreement, which is created according to political, economic, social, and cultural conditions when its made.
It was the introductory of General Class stated by a Constitutional Justice, Moh. Mahfud MD, in front of students of Law Faculty Janabadra University, Yogyakarta, when they visited the Constitusional Court, Monday (4/21).
Resultante could be replaced by a new resultante, through the amendment of the Constitution. ââ¬ÅSo that, we do not have to be allergic about the changes (of the Constitution),ââ¬Â Mahfud stated.
The substance of the Constitution, Mahfud added, did not have to follow doctrine nor theory nor a state system run in a country. ââ¬ÅState law is anything stated in the constitution of a countryââ¬Â, he explained.
Mahfud gave an example, the Constitusional Court is a result of a new resultante on 1945 Constitution. ââ¬ÅThe Constitusional Court was born based on third amendment of 1945 Constitution,ââ¬Â he mentioned. (Wiwik Budi Wasito/ Kencana Suluh Hikmah)
