Differences of opinion among the founders of the nation colored discussion when determining the establishment of the state 75 years ago. However, at the end of the discussion, there was no divisionamong them despite their difference in opinions. The national leaders at that time accepted with cool heads every agreement despite their differences.
Until Aug. 22, 1945, at the meeting of the Preparatory Committee for Indonesian Independence (PPKI), national leaders were still busy with discussions to determine a number of foundations in running the government. The discussion had been carried out in stages since May 1945 at a number of meetings held by the Investigating Committee for Preparatory Work for Independence (BPUPKI).
