Main Ideas and Concepts

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
