The background and impact of the amandment were explained, for example in relation to the presidential election system. Before the amendment, the sovereignty was on the state and the President was elected by the People\u2019s Consultative Assembly (MPR). After the amendment, the sovereignty was returned to the people, so that the people could vote directly for the President. Therefore, the people\u2019s active participation in the presidential election has become very important.
