The Legitimacy Theory of the Provisional Government (Korean: 임시정부 법통론 or 임정법통론; Hanja: 臨時政府 法統論 or 臨政法統論; lit. [Korean] Provisional Government Legitimism)[1] claims that the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea and its successors is the only legitimate government with representation of Koreans and the entire Korean Peninsula, and that legitimacy is inherited by the present Republic of Korea (South Korea). The current Constitution of the Republic of Korea, which was finalized and revised in 1987, supports this Legitimism. According to this theory, the time when the Republic of Korea was founded was in 1919, not 1948.[2]
