Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study aims to analyze the history of the development of democracy in Indonesia to reflect on history. Democracy is a political system that aims to maintain the political stability of a country. In Indonesia itself, the democratic system has undergone many changes since the beginning of independence until 2022. In each of these developments, there have been many historical events that have been quite detrimental. Therefore, it is very important to study the history of democracy, as well as analyze the things that can be used as lessons for society. By researching the development of democracy, the public can support the development of democracy in 2022. This research is qualitative in nature using the observation method of journals and the internet. The results showed that there were 4 periods of democracy: (1) Parliamentary Democracy, (2) Guided Democracy, (3) Pancasila Democracy in the New Order Era, and (4) Pancasila Democracy in the Reformation Era. In 2022, the democracy assessment index is considered to be more advanced. There are 5 sections that serve as a reference for assessing the quality of democracy in Indonesia. The part that has the best development is the aspect of government functions. From the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that the development of democracy in Indonesia, especially at the beginning of independence, experienced ups and downs which led to several conflicts. Democracy that has been implemented until now is the era of reform because it has a balance between liberal and communist ideologies. Understanding the concept and history of democracy in Indonesia can make people aware of supporting the development of democracy in 2022.
