Abstract

Political parties are considered democratic institutions expected to help build a stable and democratic government. Conversely, political parties are often considered to trigger government instability. This study aims to 1) discover the history of the party system within General Elections in Indonesia and 2) investigate the influence of the multiparty political structure implemented in the presidential system. This normative legal article uses a historical approach to describe the party system history of some presidents and the House of Representatives before and after the amendment of the 1945 Constitution. Afterward, each history will be compared to investigate the comparison of the President's power relationship with the House of Representatives before and after the amendment of the 1945 Constitution. The findings showed that 1) the party system before the amendment (hereafter, the New Order) benefited the ongoing government. The president had no problems with political support because the government party was always the party supporting the government with an absolute majority in parliament. In contrast, the party system after the amendment (hereafter, multiparty politics) is considered a solution to maintain stability and balance in the ongoing political system. The president had some difficulties getting majority support from parliament, thus coalition between the president and political parties is a form of compromise. 2) The impact of a multiparty system is that the president indirectly allows parties outside him to influence his power structure. In conclusion, the problems of the presidential and multiparty system can be resolved with an accommodative and compromise presidential style of government.

Abstract

Legal development in Indonesia is a strategic issue within the framework of the 2005–2025 National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN), as stipulated in Law Number 17 of 2007. The RPJPN replaces the General Guidelines for State Policy (GBHN) system after the amendment to the 1945 Constitution, by placing law as one of the pillars of development. This study aims to analyze the legal position of the RPJPN in the constitutional law system, evaluate its effectiveness as a guideline for national and regional legal development, and examine the harmonization between the RPJPN, the National RPJM, and regional development planning. Using Lawrence M. Friedman's legal system theory, this study examines three main elements, namely structure, substance, and legal culture in supporting the implementation of the RPJPN. The results of the study indicate that although the RPJPN has a strong legal basis, its implementation is often hampered by structural weaknesses, insynchronization of policies between levels of government, and low legal culture in society. Harmonization between the RPJPN, the National RPJM, and regional planning requires intensive coordination to ensure that the vision, mission, and objectives of the state in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution are achieved. Periodic evaluation, transparency, and community participation are the keys to success. This study recommends an integrative approach that strengthens the capacity of local governments, increases community legal awareness, and ensures that national legal policies reflect the values ​​of social justice. Thus, the RPJPN can be an effective instrument in the development of sustainable, fair, and responsive law to community needs.

Abstract

Judicial review in Indonesia occupies a strategic position as a guardian of constitutional supremacy and an arena for tensions between the principles of the rule of law and popular sovereignty. This article aims to assess the effectiveness of judicial review in protecting citizens' constitutional rights and unravel the challenges of independence, public access, and compliance with decisions. Using a juridical-normative method through statutory, case, and conceptual approaches, the study describes norms, interprets constitutional provisions, and evaluates the practice of constitutional justice. The findings reveal three key issues: first, the vulnerability of independence due to recruitment processes that overlap with political interests and lead to inconsistent reasoning; second, barriers to access in the form of strict legal standing requirements, procedural complexity, costs, and low legal literacy; and third, weak implementation of decisions that give rise to "constitutional non-compliance," eroding the coercive power of judicial review and creating legal uncertainty. Although there are progressive decisions that expand rights protection, their implementation impact is often diminished by institutional resistance. This article recommends reforms to more independent and transparent judicial selection, expanding access through constitutional legal aid and simplifying procedures, and strengthening monitoring mechanisms and sanctions for the implementation of decisions. Synergy of these steps is necessary so that judicial review truly becomes an effective instrument for enforcing the constitution and supporting people's sovereignty.
