After People's Resistance in June, the Korean Constitutional Law of 6th Republic was made in 1987 through political conference which was composed of the representatives from the majority party as well as the minority party. The Constitutional Law of 6th Republic pursued free democratic society where people's basic rights were guaranteed in maximum. The Constitutional Court system was adopted in Korea to achieve this goal. According to the Constitutional Law of the 6th Republic, the judicial independence and political neutrality was guaranteed by the provisions that prohibited the Justices of the Constitutional Court from doing political activities and guaranteed their status.
