Deskripsi: Constitution is implemented by laws both
written and unwritten law. Whatever the form of law would be, it must be
honored; otherwise, the society leads to chaos. In this book, law does not
necessarily mean written law. It is Professor Marzuqi's stance that he is not
positivist; in this book, therefore, he also refers to custom and practices,
which he regards as law too. This book begins with the history of Indonesian
law. It is a good point of departure because presenting pre independence legal
sys- tem, he describes how pluralistic and discriminative the legal system
under the Netherlands-Indie administration. It is interesting that he retains
the original Dutch legal terms and translated into English, by which the reader
may conceive the original meaning of the terms. In addition, in this chapter,
he shows plainly how the 1945 Constitution was prepared and from his
description, it is known that the constitution was intended to be a temporary
or provisional constitution.
