The Indonesian nation has a determination to exist in the international world in the form of a unitary state. This agreement is reflected in the meetings conducted by the Investigation Agency for Preparation of Indonesian Independence (BPUPKI) and Preparatory Committee for Indonesian Independence in drafting the Constitution prior to the independence of Indonesia.

-         The state does not provide a place of life for provincialism.

-         Most of the learned men were in Java so there was no energy in the area to form a federal state.

-         The regions of Indonesia are not equal in their potential and wealth.

-         From a geopolitical standpoint, the international world will see Indonesia as strong as a unitary state.

To form a state that is unitarism has the purpose to unify the entire archipelago in order to become a big and solid state with the state power is centralized or centralized. Centralized is power centered on the central government but each region has its own leader.

The determination to create a unitary state is contained in the second aline of the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution of the State of the Republic of Indonesia which reads "and the struggle for the independence movement of Indonesia has arrived at a happy time with congratulations sentausa ushered the people of Indonesia to the gate of independence of an independent state of Indonesia, united, sovereign, just and prosperous ".
