History and Definition of Pancasila
📌 Pancasila's formulation occurred during the BPUPKI sessions, with proposals from Muhammad Yamin (May 29), Mr. Soepomo (May 31), and Ir. Soekarno (June 1).
⭐ Pancasila Day is commemorated on June 1 because it marks the date Ir. Soekarno proposed the formulation of Pancasila.
📜 The initial first precept in the Jakarta Charter, "Ketuhanan dengan kewajiban menjalankan syariat Islam bagi pemeluknya" (Divinity with the obligation to carry out Islamic law for its followers), was changed to "Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa" (Belief in the One and Only God) on August 18, 1945, to ensure national unity.

Positions and Functions of Pancasila
📌 Pancasila serves as a way of life (pandangan hidup), crystallizing the experiences, character, ethics, and norms of the Indonesian nation since long before independence.
🏛️ As the State Foundation (Dasar Negara), it guides the administration and governance of the state, as stated in the fourth paragraph of the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution (UUD 1945).
🎯 It functions as the National Ideology (Ideologi Nasional), providing the fundamental basis and framework for the thinking process used to achieve the National Goals (Cita-cita Nasional).
⚖️ Pancasila is the Source of All Sources of Law (Sumber dari segala sumber hukum); every legal product must align with the basic values of Pancasila (Sila 1 to Sila 5).

Pancasila as an Open Ideology
📌 Pancasila is an open ideology characterized by three dimensions: reality (sourced from existing real values and culture), idealism (containing hopes and aspirations for a better future), and flexibility (allowing adaptation to new thoughts without contradicting core principles).
🔄 This openness means Pancasila must be dynamic and capable of adjusting to scientific, technological, and societal developments, such as globalization.
🚫 The flexibility of Pancasila is limited; it must actively guard against ideologies like Communism, Marxism, and Leninism, as well as concepts of excessive liberalism and extremist views like terrorism or separatism.
🧩 New norms arising from societal development must be established through consensus (kesepakatan/musyawarah mufakat), not unilateral decisions by specific groups.

Implementation of Pancasila Principles (Sila by Sila)
⭐ Sila 1 (Divinity): Emphasizes the private relationship between an individual and God, while simultaneously promoting mutual respect and cooperation among followers of different religions regarding worship and belief practices.
🤝 Sila 2 (Humanity): Highlights Human Rights (HAM), demanding that all rights (life, decent livelihood) be granted without discrimination. It emphasizes humanitarian actions, sympathy, and compassion for fellow human beings.
🌍 Sila 3 (Unity): Centers on patriotism, national defense (bela negara), and nationalism, treating citizens primarily as political actors focused on the nation's unity.
🗳️ Sila 4 (Democracy): Pertains to rights and obligations within governance, such as the right to vote and be elected in elections (Pemilu), and the right to express aspirations through peaceful demonstrations (demo damai).
💰 Sila 5 (Social Justice): Demands efforts from individuals to improve their standard of living through hard work and a simple lifestyle. At the state level, it requires fair and equitable distribution of development, such as infrastructure, not necessarily equal budgeting per region but tailored to need.

Differentiating Sila 2 and Sila 5
📌 Sila 2 (Humanity) focuses on preventing discrimination in fulfilling fundamental human rights (physical/natural aspects, e.g., healthcare, decent living) and is driven by empathy (dorongan untuk menolong).
⚖️ Sila 5 (Social Justice) concerns fairness in social roles and functions (e.g., workers' rights, gender equality, fair access to public services). The response is often sympathy regarding perceived injustice or inequality in distribution and policy (e.g., uneven regional development).

Key Points & Insights
➡️ When assessing Pancasila as an open ideology, note that its core values and aspirations must derive from the Indonesian culture itself (Reality dimension).
➡️ The assertion that the right to a decent living (hak penghidupan yang layak), as per Article 27 Verse 2, aligns with Sila 2 (Humanity) due to its explicit connection to human rights and humanitarian basis.
➡️ Merata's (equity/fair distribution) in national development (e.g., infrastructure and electricity supply) is the key implementation indicator for Sila 5 (Social Justice), which differs from the non-discrimination focus of Sila 2.
➡️ Implementing bela negara for a student can manifest as studying diligently and working hard to advance knowledge, which contributes to national progress, aligning with the work ethic demanded by Sila 5.
