Mereka menganggap bahwa orang Indonesia tidak bisa berkembang menuju keadilan dan kesejahteraan tanpa demokrasi. Kolonialisme dan feodalisme telah mempengaruhi mentalitas dan karakter bangsa Indonesia sebagai pribadi yang rendah. Melihat situasi tersebut para pendiri bangsa berusaha mengembangkan sistem demokrasi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari yang dipraktikkan dalam sistem pemerintah. Secara umum, model demokrasi yang berkembang dapat dibedakan dalam dua model, yang merupakan demokrasi budaya dan demokrasi radikal. Model demokrasi budaya cenderung berkembang sebagai rangkaian proses bertahap dan pendukungnya bisa kerjasama dengan pemerintah kolonial.
