At the philosophical level it shows that all legislations related to the formulation of corruption and death penalty have the background of moral values based on Pancasila as a philosophical footing. The death penalty of corruption in Indonesia within the perspective of a legal justice, contained in the formulation of Law No. 20 year 2001 about the Amendment of Law No. 31 year 1999 about eradication to corruption, chapter II, article 2, paragraph (2), shows a part of the positive law.
