Abstract:
The 1945 Constitution has been amended four times, the changes that have occurred are
considered more nuanced in terms of political needs. The 1945 Constitution as the highest
law that should be able to become the voice of the people is dominated by the tug of war
interests of political parties. Article changes are only articles related to the authority of the
head of government and Indonesian institutions. Therefore, the Constitution of the Republic
of Indonesia is substantially and procedurally not able to touch the needs and participation
of the community. If you look at Law Number 17 of 2014 concerning the People's
Consultative Assembly, the People's Representative Council, the Regional Representatives
Council, and the Regional People's Representative Council, the actual need for community
participation is part of the tasks of the MPR, but until now the task of the mandate of the law
is completely has not been able to be implemented.
Description:
Sebagaimana difahami bahwa konstitusi merupakan hukum dasar yang dijadikan
landasan dalam penyelenggaraan negara. Sebagai hukum dasar, konstitusi dapat berbentuk
tertulis dan tidak tertulis. Konstitusi yang tertulis di Indonesia disebut dengan UndangUndang Dasar. Konstutisi mempunyai peran untuk mempertahankan esensi keberadaan
sebuah negara dari pengaruh berbagai perkembangan yang bergerak dinamis. Oleh karena itu,
konstitusi yang ideal merupakan hasil dari penyesuaian dan penyempurnaan untuk mengikuti
segala perkembangan, khususnya yang berkaitan dengan keinginan hati nurani rakyat.
