Abstract

The founding fathers have concerned with democracy since the early struggle of nation independence. They have considered that Indonesian people could not develop their justice and prosperity without democracy. Colonialism and feodalism had influenced mentality and character of Indonesian people as an inferior personality. Considering those situation, the founding fathers attempted to develop a daily democratic system which is practiced in government system. In general, there are two existing models of democracy which is developing, that are, the cultural democracy and the radical democracy. The cultural democracy model tends to develop as a gradual process and their supporters could cooperate with the colonial government. On the contrary, the radical democracy model assumed that democracy, included economic and political aspects and also their supporter, could not cooperate with the colonial government.
