The concept of people sovereignty has become an intellectual debate among the constituents of the state in Indonesia. Peoples sovereignty or modern democracy is a democracy with a representative system; it means the people choose someone from themselves to represent their own selves. Through the processing and analysing data using descriptive qualitative method, it generated that the development of democracy in modern state with the several characteristics such as having vast territory and its dense and plural population like the Republic of Indonesia, the system of government will be sourced from people sovereignty. Align with its system; the application of the constitution moralized by the values of the nation’s philosophy. So, the implementation of people’s sovereignty could not be directly but indirectly or also known as the Democratic Representative System.
