This study aims to analyze the existence of the highest state institutions and high state institutions in the context of governance in Indonesia. This study uses a literature review method by analyzing journal articles relevant to the research topic. The results indicate that the highest state institutions and high state institutions have played a significant role in Indonesian political history, but also have weaknesses and shortcomings. The change in the status of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) from the highest state institution to a legislative body equal to the House of Representatives (DPR) has created uncertainty regarding its role and function. This study recommends the need for improvements and capacity building of legislative institutions to enhance the quality of democracy and governance.
