This research explores the urgency of term limits for legislative members within the framework of constitutional democracy, aiming to prevent abuse of power, oligarchic dominance, and political stagnation. Using a normative juridical method and qualitative descriptive analysis, the study reveals that the absence of legislative term limits reflects a weakness in Indonesia’s legal system. The findings emphasize the importance of structural term limits as a mechanism for power control, ensuring political regeneration, and strengthening the principles of equality before the law and fair representation in a democratic constitutional state.
