This research examines the influence of amendments to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia on changes in the structure of legislative institutions, especially the Regional Representative Council (DPD), with the aim of understanding their function, authority and position in the Indonesian constitutional system. This research uses normative legal methods with a statute and political approach, as well as descriptive analysis of secondary data which includes primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. The research results show that although the DPD has a legislative function, its role and authority in the law formation process is still limited and tends to be treated as a complement compared to the People's Representative Council (DPR) and the President. Even though the DPD plays an important role in voicing regional interests, its presence in the legislative function needs to be strengthened so that it can contribute more significantly to a more inclusive and democratic Indonesian constitutional system.
