<![CDATA[This paper examines how Indonesia's Omnibus Law legislation has accelerated the consolidation of executive power and the effects of declining public participation in the legislative process. Government Regulation in lieu of Law Number 2 of 2022 and the adoption of Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation, which was later stipulated as Law Number 6 of 2023, demonstrates executive dominance in the legislative process. The accelerated formation mechanism, minimal public involvement, and the formality of the public consultation process raise constitutional issues related to the right to participation as guaranteed in Using This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory, conceptual, and historical approach, drawing on primary legal materials such as the 1945 Constitution, Law Number 12 of 2011 in conjunction with Law Number 13 of 2022 concerning the Formation of Legislation, and the Constitutional Court Decision Number 91/PUU-XVIII/2020. Articles 28E and 28F of the Republic of Indonesia's 1945 Constitution, which declared the Job Creation Law conditionally unconstitutional. The research findings indicate that the consolidation of executive power has shifted the balance of checks and balances, weakened the deliberative function of the House of Representatives (DPR), and neglected the principles of openness and meaningful participation, potentially reducing the legitimacy of laws and public trust in the legislative process, while also posing challenges to the principles of the rule of law and constitutional democracy. This research recommends strengthening substantive public participation mechanisms, enforcing the principle of openness in accordance with Law 12/2011 in conjunction with Law 13/2022, and effective judicial oversight by the Constitutional Court to ensure that laws are enacted in accordance with the principles of participatory democracy.]]>
