History of the Establishment of BPUPKI

During the Japanese occupation of Indonesia, in June 1944 to be exact, the United States Army was able to conquered all of Japan's defense lines in the Pacific, namely in Saipan, Papua New Guinea, the Soloman Islands, and the Archipelago Marshall.

This event was also followed by the laying down of the prime minister of Japan, PM Tojo, who was replaced by General Kuniaki Koiso. The appointment of General Kuniaki Koiso as prime minister of Japan was carried out on July 17, 1944.

On September 7, 1944, PM Koiso gave his promise before the Japanese parliament (Teikoku Ginkai). The promise expressed by PM Koiso was that the East Indies (which at that time was what Indonesia was called) would be allowed independence.

PM Koiso's aim in making this promise to Indonesia was so that the Indonesian people would not fight against Japan and would want to help Japan against its allies. To give the Indonesian people confidence in the promise of independence expressed by PM Koiso, the people Indonesia is allowed to fly the red and white flag side by side with the Japanese flag, namely the Hinomaru.

In addition, on March 1, 1945, the Japanese occupation government in Java through the XIV Armed Forces, General Kumakici Harada conveyed announcement of the establishment of the Investigation Agency for Preparatory Efforts for Indonesian Independence (Dokuritsu Junbi Cosakai) which is abbreviated as BPUPKI.

  BPUPKI First Session (29 May – 1 June 1945)

The agenda for the first BPUPKI session was to formulate the basic philosophy of the Indonesian state that would be formed. Various views were expressed by several members, namely Muh. Yamen, Prof. Supomo, and Ir. Sukarno. According to Muh. Yamin, the basis for an independent Indonesian state is as follows:

• • National fairy
  • Human fairy
  • Divine fairy
  • Citizen fairy
  • People's welfare

Meanwhile, Prof. Supomo revealed that the basis for an independent Indonesian state was as follows:

• • Unity
  • familial
  • Inner and outer balance
  • discussion
  • Social justice

Meanwhile Ir. Soekarno, the opinion regarding the basis of an independent Indonesian state which was conveyed on June 1, 1945 was as follows:

• • Indonesian Nationality
  • Internationalism or fairy humanity
  • Consensus and democracy
  • Social welfare
  • Belief in the one and only God

The first meeting of the BPUPKI did not produce a formulation on the basis of the state, only a general view on the basis of an independent Indonesian state. To accommodate the suggestions, suggestions and concepts provided, BPUPKI formed a small committee chaired by Ir. Sukarno.

Members of the small committee consisted of Mohamad Hatta, Abdul Kadir Muzakir, Muh. Yamin, Ahmad Soebardjo, A. A Maramis, Wahid Hasyim, and Abikusno Tjokrosujoso.

The small committee produced a draft joint agreement on the basis of the state, which is called the Jakarta Charter. The Jakarta Charter reads as follows:

• Belief in God with the obligation to carry out Islamic law for its adherents.
• Just and civilized basis of humanity.
  The unity of Indonesia.
• (And) the people who are led by wisdom in representative deliberations.
  (As well as by realizing a) social justice for all Indonesian people.

This draft was accepted and served as the core of the preamble to the Constitution.

• BPUPKI Second Meeting (10 July – 17 July 1945)

In the second meeting, BPUPKI discussed the draft Constitution (UUD), including the opening of the UUD. In this case, BPUPKI formed a Drafting Committee for the UUD which was chaired by Ir. Sukarno

Within the committee, a small group of seven people was formed, chaired by Prof. Soepomo and consisting of Mr. Wongsonegoro, Mr. Achmad Soebardjo, Mr. A A Maramis, Mr. R. P Singgih, H. Agus Salim, and Dr. Soekiman.

This committee is tasked with formulating the draft Constitution. The language formulated by the small group was perfected by the Language Smoothing Committee consisting of Husein Djajadiningrat, H. Agus Salim, and Prof. Soepomo

There were three drafts resulting from the discussion of the Constitution Drafting Committee which were presented at the BPUPKI session on 14 July 1945, namely the declaration of Indonesian independence, the preamble of the Constitution, and the body of the Constitution. The three concepts were accepted at the BPUPKI meeting. The results of the second session of the BPUPKI can be broken down as follows:
