This study uses a normative approach and uses a qualitative analysis methodology with data collection techniques through literature studies such as legislation, books, legal journals, and online media. The results of the analysis show that in terms of the constitutions in Indonesia and Pakistan, there are several basic differences, starting from the use of norms, state institutions, government systems, social pluralism, and the implementation of the constitution considering that Indonesia is not an Islamic country while Pakistan is an Islamic country but there are still some similarities. between Indonesia and Pakistan, but this shows that if only religion is used in the constitution without paying attention to the social, economic, political, and cultural needs of the community, this will become a big problem so it will need to share
