Main Ideas and Concepts
- Relationship Between Constitution, Rights, and Obligations
- Rights and obligations of citizens are derived from and regulated by the constitution.
- These rights and obligations are interconnected with the state, which defines their scope.
- Different countries have different rights and obligations based on their constitutions.
- Purpose of Studying Rights and Obligations
- Beyond cognitive understanding, the goal is to encourage self-discipline among citizens in exercising their rights and fulfilling obligations.
- This supports the democratic life of Indonesia, based on popular sovereignty and consensus.
- Rights and Obligations: Two Sides of the Same Coin
- Rights are authorities or powers over something (e.g., owning and using a cellphone).
- Obligations are duties or responsibilities that must be fulfilled, often accompanied by sanctions if ignored (e.g., obeying traffic laws, paying taxes).
- Rights cannot be exercised without accompanying obligations; there is a reciprocal relationship.
- Freedom is not absolute; it must be exercised without harming others or infringing on their rights.
- Legal and Social Responsibility
- Obligations have legal consequences and sanctions.
- The concept of freedom involves positive actions that do not disturb others.
- Responsibilities also extend to religious and national duties, reflecting Indonesia’s belief in one Almighty God.
- Nation vs. State
- Nation: a human unit or community.
- State: an organization of power formed through Social contract theory.
- Population vs. Citizens:
- Population refers to all people in a country, including foreign nationals.
- Citizens have legal relations with the country and are protected by it regardless of where they live.
- Rights and Obligations in Practice
- Citizens’ obligations (like paying taxes) enable the state to function and provide public services.
- There is a mutualistic relationship between the state and citizens.
- Principles of Citizenship Status
- Ius Soli (Right of the Soil): Citizenship based on place of birth.
- Ius Sanguinis (Right of Blood): Citizenship based on descent or blood relations.
- Mobility and mixed citizenship statuses complicate citizenship (e.g., stateless, bipatrid, multipatrid).
- Indonesian law (Article 28 of the constitution and Law Number 12 of 2006) provides rights for stateless persons and regulates citizenship acquisition.
- Upcoming Topics
- Detailed discussion on the seven ways to obtain Indonesian citizenship according to Law Number 12 of 2006 will be covered in the next session.
