Vice President Kalla and MPR Speaker Zulkifli Hasan delivered speeches about independence and the Constitution.
While commemorating Constitution Day on 18 August, political figures talked about the discourse on an amendment of the 1945 Constitution. The amendment was in line with the challenges of the times.
The development of society leads to the need for an amendment so that the contents of the Constitution remain relevant. The amendment of the Constitution is not something that is unfamiliar. Other countries, such as the United States, have also repeatedly done this. The amendment to the Constitution is meant to improve, correct or revise the original contents. In Indonesia, it deals with the 1945 Constitution.
