Abstract

In considering the principle of check and balances in legislature matter, the grand theme should be proposed in this context is how to guarantee checks and balances within the legislative branch and that principle are implemented properly and reliably. Nonetheless, in Indonesian constitutional system after the Reformation era when the House of Regional Representative (DPD) was established, the achivement of check and balances is still far from its fundamental aim. As a result, the “new” Constitution is challenged to observe an ideal parliament system where checks and balances within the legislative branch can be achieved and the existence of such fundamental institution could effectively bridge local aspiration to national policy.

Abstract

From the beginning history of modern Indonesia, federalism was mostly considered Dutch political design to preserve the fading power ofcolonial in the country. Most Indonesian viewed federalism as Dutch's political hidden agenda to maintain its influence. Therefore, the challenge was directly responded after the post-transfer of sovereignty and independence movement toward a Unitarian state as it exists today. In contrast, with the fall of the Soeharto's regime, some commentators view federalism as a new formula for tackling multi level crisis encountered. Despite fact that federalism seems to have long road to be adopted in Indonesia, this paper argues that federalism, as a system of government, would become best suited political system for Indonesia particularly in managing diversity and tackfing multi crisis.Keywords: Federalism, Unitarian, State, Diversity and Constitution
