Abstract

Constitutional interpretation is a crucial and evolving field that extends beyond judges, involving legal scholars, citizens, and political theorists. It encompasses various methods such as originalism, textualism, moral reasoning, structural reasoning, and comparative constitutional law, each offering distinct approaches to understanding the Constitution. These methods are often categorized into two schools of thought: originalist and non-originalist. The debate between these two approaches has been a source of recurring controversy, with originalism advocating for adherence to the framers’ intentions and non-originalism promoting a more dynamic, “living” interpretation. Terence Ball emphasizes the significance of constitutional interpretation, dubbing it “deadly hermeneutics,” as a nation’s fate hinges on how its Constitution is understood and applied. While traditional theories focus on textual meaning or historical context, this article proposes that constitutional interpretation must also be approached ontologically—understanding the very essence of interpretation. Drawing on Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics, this study suggests that constitutional interpretation should be viewed as a dynamic process influenced by historical understanding, language, and societal context. Constitutional hermeneutics, as a theoretical framework, opposes rigid methodologies and emphasizes the role of language, historical context, and prejudices in shaping meaning. It offers a more holistic understanding, allowing for the Constitution to evolve with societal changes, ensuring its relevance in modern governance. This approach provides a more comprehensive solution to the challenges posed by the debate between originalism and non-originalism.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has significantly transformed various economic sectors, particularly through the emergence of digitized contracts, including electronic contracts and smart contracts. These innovations are especially impactful in the investment sector, providing enhanced speed, security, and efficiency. As the Indonesian economy becomes increasingly integrated with digital technology, the role of electronic and smart contracts becomes crucial, necessitating adaptations in the country’s legal framework. Indonesia's legal system has responded with regulatory reforms, such as amendments to the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, aiming to address the needs of the digital economy. However, the pace of legal adaptation has raised concerns, particularly regarding the timely recognition and support for smart contracts, which are poised to revolutionize investment practices by automating transactions and reducing the reliance on intermediaries. Despite efforts to regulate electronic systems, Indonesia’s legal politics have struggled to keep up with the demands of these technological advancements, leading to gaps in the legal support for digitized contracts. This paper analyzes the intersection of Indonesia’s legal politics and the evolving landscape of investment, focusing on how the legal framework can better accommodate the integration of electronic and smart contracts. The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive legal structure that fosters the growth of digital investment, providing legal certainty and protecting stakeholders. It ultimately proposes a model to support the future of investments, integrating legal clarity, regulatory adaptation, and industry collaboration to ensure that Indonesia’s legal framework can effectively support the evolving digital economy.
