Abstract
The development of Indonesian democracy during last twenty years made Indonesian researchers split into two groups. Some of them see with positive views and some of them state their negative opinions. This article does not want to involve their debates. However, this article tries to evaluate the result of Indonesian democracy with different point of view, namely the philosophy of Pancasila, the basic spirit of Indonesia. One of the results is the Amendments of Indonesian Constitution. Are the amendments compatible with Pancasila philosophy? Using the philosophical approach, this article concludes that the amendments of Indonesian Constitution during 1999-2002 produce some incompatibilities that contradictory to the philosophy of the nation.
