Abstract

This study aims to analyze the juridical status of accretion land within Indonesia’s land law system and to examine its operational integration into the agrarian reform framework through the Agrarian Reform Object Land (TORA) mechanism. Employing a normative juridical approach, this research is based on statutory and conceptual analysis using deductive legal reasoning to assess the coherence between legal norms and their practical application. The findings reveal that although accretion land is formally classified as state-controlled land, its governance is characterized by a significant gap between normative regulation and empirical utilization by coastal communities, resulting in legal uncertainty, administrative ambiguity, and potential agrarian conflicts. Furthermore, accretion land demonstrates substantial strategic value as a redistribution object within agrarian reform, particularly in strengthening tenure security and promoting socio-economic welfare; however, its implementation remains constrained by fragmented regulations, overlapping authority, and limited institutional capacity. The novelty of this study lies in the explicit conceptualization of accretion land as a systematic and legally viable component of agrarian reform, accompanied by the development of an integrative legal-operational framework that bridges doctrinal law with empirical land use practices in coastal areas. This study contributes both theoretically, by advancing agrarian law discourse through the integration of normative and practical perspectives, and practically, by offering policy-oriented recommendations to enhance regulatory harmonization, institutional coordination, and equitable land governance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze corruption in the procurement of 4G Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) from a criminal law perspective and its socioeconomic impacts in Indonesia, by addressing the research gap concerning the absence of an integrative framework linking public procurement law and anti-corruption criminal law. This research employs a normative-doctrinal legal method using statutory, conceptual, and case study approaches based on court decisions and policy documents related to BTS procurement. The findings reveal that corruption arises from regulatory disharmony, weak institutional oversight, and power asymmetry that enables abuse of authority, which causally leads to project delays, declining infrastructure quality, and unequal digital access. These conditions significantly hinder public services, civic participation, and digital economic growth, particularly in frontier, outermost, and underdeveloped regions. The novelty of this study lies in developing an integrative analytical framework connecting regulatory structures, criminal law enforcement, and socioeconomic impacts within a juridical-structural perspective. The contribution of this study is both theoretical, by advancing interdisciplinary legal scholarship, and practical, by providing policy recommendations based on risk-based governance, strengthened e-procurement systems, and integrated supervision and law enforcement to enhance accountability in public procurement and sustainable digital development.     Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis korupsi dalam pengadaan Base Transceiver Station (BTS) 4G dari perspektif hukum pidana serta implikasi sosial-ekonominya di Indonesia, dengan menegaskan adanya kekosongan kajian integratif yang menghubungkan hukum pengadaan publik dan hukum pidana korupsi dalam satu kerangka analisis. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode hukum normatif-doktrinal dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan studi kasus berbasis putusan pengadilan serta dokumen kebijakan terkait pengadaan BTS 4G. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa korupsi terjadi akibat disharmoni regulasi, lemahnya pengawasan kelembagaan, dan dominasi relasi kekuasaan yang membuka ruang penyalahgunaan wewenang, yang secara kausal berdampak pada keterlambatan pembangunan, penurunan kualitas infrastruktur, serta ketimpangan akses digital. Dampak tersebut secara langsung menghambat layanan publik, partisipasi masyarakat, serta pertumbuhan ekonomi digital, khususnya di wilayah 3T. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada pengembangan kerangka analisis integratif yang menghubungkan dimensi regulasi, penegakan hukum pidana, dan dampak sosial-ekonomi dalam perspektif yuridis-struktural. Kontribusi penelitian ini bersifat teoretis dalam memperkaya kajian hukum interdisipliner, serta praktis dalam memberikan dasar perumusan kebijakan berbasis risk-based governance, penguatan e-procurement, dan integrasi pengawasan serta penegakan hukum guna meningkatkan akuntabilitas pengadaan publik dan keberlanjutan pembangunan digital.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal position of mortgage right holders in debtor bankruptcy proceedings and evaluate the fulfillment of their rights in executing collateral. The issue arises from the disharmony between secured transactions law, which grants direct execution rights to creditors, and bankruptcy law, which places all debtor assets under the control of the curator, leading to legal uncertainty. This research employs normative legal methods with statutory and conceptual approaches, using primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials analyzed qualitatively. The findings indicate that mortgage right holders are recognized as secured or separatist creditors with preferential rights; however, the execution process encounters obstacles such as temporary suspension, curator authority, and administrative complexity. The novelty of this study lies in the formulation of a normative harmonization concept between bankruptcy law and secured transactions law, operationalized through a synchronization model of authority between curators and secured creditors in a coordinative framework. The contribution of this research provides a conceptual basis and practical recommendations, including revising provisions on execution delay and time limits, as well as establishing integrated technical guidelines to enhance legal certainty and the effectiveness of creditors’ rights fulfillment.     Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kedudukan kreditur pemegang hak tanggungan dalam proses kepailitan debitur serta mengevaluasi pemenuhan haknya dalam pelaksanaan eksekusi objek jaminan. Permasalahan penelitian berangkat dari adanya disharmonisasi antara hukum jaminan kebendaan yang memberikan hak eksekusi langsung kepada kreditur dan hukum kepailitan yang menempatkan seluruh harta debitur sebagai boedel pailit di bawah penguasaan kurator, sehingga menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual, menggunakan bahan hukum primer, sekunder, dan tersier yang dianalisis secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kreditur pemegang hak tanggungan tetap berkedudukan sebagai kreditur separatis dengan hak preferen, namun pelaksanaan eksekusi menghadapi hambatan berupa penundaan eksekusi, kewenangan kurator, serta kompleksitas prosedur administratif. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada perumusan konsep harmonisasi normatif antara hukum kepailitan dan hukum jaminan kebendaan yang dioperasionalkan melalui model sinkronisasi kewenangan antara kurator dan kreditur separatis secara koordinatif. Kontribusi penelitian ini memberikan dasar konseptual dan rekomendasi operasional berupa perlunya revisi ketentuan terkait penundaan dan batas waktu eksekusi serta penyusunan pedoman teknis eksekusi yang terintegrasi guna meningkatkan kepastian hukum dan efektivitas pemenuhan hak kreditur.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the constitutional responsibility of the state in financing basic education, evaluate the legal position of the Free Nutritious Meals Program (MBG) within the national budget priority structure, and formulate a reorientation of fiscal legal policy to ensure equitable educational access. This research employs a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches, supported by systematic and teleological legal interpretation. The findings reveal that although MBG holds legitimacy as a human capital development policy, its current consumption-based financing model poses risks of inefficiency, weak accountability, and potential crowding-out effects on constitutionally mandated education spending. Consequently, the program may be conditionally unconstitutional if it undermines access to and quality of basic education. The novelty of this study lies in integrating constitutional law, public finance law, and social policy analysis into a unified framework, alongside the introduction of the Absolute Financial Accessibility concept as a basis for restructuring fiscal priorities. This study contributes theoretically by advancing an integrative constitutional-fiscal approach and practically by proposing a shift toward non-perishable education-oriented spending to strengthen accountability, efficiency, and the substantive fulfillment of the right to education.   policy analysis into a unified framework, alongside the introduction of the Absolute Financial Accessibility concept as a basis for restructuring fiscal priorities. This study contributes theoretically by advancing an integrative constitutional-fiscal approach and practically by proposing a shift toward non-perishable education-oriented spending to strengthen accountability, efficiency, and the substantive fulfillment of the right to education. Keywords: Constitutional Rights; Free Nutritious Meals; Right to Basic Education; State Fiscal Policy   Abstrak   Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tanggung jawab konstitusional negara dalam pembiayaan pendidikan dasar, mengevaluasi kedudukan hukum program Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) dalam struktur prioritas anggaran negara, serta merumuskan reorientasi politik hukum anggaran guna menjamin akses pendidikan yang berkeadilan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual yang didukung oleh interpretasi sistematis dan teleologis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun MBG memiliki legitimasi sebagai kebijakan pembangunan sumber daya manusia, desain pembiayaan berbasis konsumsi harian berpotensi menimbulkan inefisiensi, lemahnya akuntabilitas, serta efek crowding-out terhadap anggaran pendidikan yang bersifat mandatory. Kondisi tersebut menempatkan kebijakan ini sebagai berpotensi inkonstitusional bersyarat apabila berdampak pada penurunan akses dan kualitas pendidikan dasar. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada integrasi analisis hukum konstitusi, hukum keuangan negara, dan kebijakan sosial dalam satu kerangka normatif, serta pengenalan konsep Aksesibilitas Finansial Absolut sebagai dasar reorientasi anggaran. Penelitian ini berkontribusi secara teoretis melalui penguatan pendekatan integratif konstitusional-fiskal dan secara praktis melalui rekomendasi pergeseran belanja menuju sektor pendidikan berbasis non-perishable guna meningkatkan akuntabilitas, efisiensi, dan pemenuhan hak pendidikan secara substantif.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) utilization in the formulation of local regulations in Ternate City, particularly its effects on legal certainty, public participation, and the accommodation of pluralistic local legal values. The increasing integration of AI into legislative processes offers potential gains in regulatory efficiency and analytical capacity, but its dependence on digitized data raises concerns regarding algorithmic bias, accountability, and the representation of unwritten customary norms. Employing an empirical socio-legal research design with a qualitative approach, this study combines legislative and conceptual approaches with empirical data obtained through semi-structured interviews with relevant key informants and analysis of legal and documentary materials. Data credibility was strengthened through source triangulation, while the data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings demonstrate that AI can support regulatory mapping, legislative drafting, comparative analysis, documentation, and final-text verification, but cannot replace human deliberation, legal judgment, and participatory decision-making. AI-generated legal hallucinations, algorithmic bias, limited transparency, and the absence of digitized local customary knowledge may undermine legal certainty and marginalize locally embedded legal values. The principal novelty of this study is the conceptualization of “Digital Extinction of Living Law” as a risk arising from excessive reliance on AI-generated legal outputs. To address this risk, the study proposes a human-centered AI model that positions AI as an assistive instrument subject to continuous human oversight, data provenance, verification, and meaningful public participation, thereby integrating technological efficiency with legal pluralism, democratic legitimacy, and the preservation of living law.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal construction of contested divorce arising from online gambling and online lending in Indonesian marriage law. The issue is significant because both practices have increasingly contributed to contested divorce cases in religious courts and have shifted from socio-economic concerns into family law disputes affecting maintenance, economic stability, mutual trust, and marital continuity. The urgency of this study lies in the absence of explicit legal provisions recognizing online gambling and online lending as independent grounds for divorce, thereby creating legal uncertainty in judicial practice. This research employs normative legal research using statutory and case approaches, with primary legal materials derived from the Marriage Law, Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975, and the Compilation of Islamic Law, supported by secondary legal materials from scholarly literature and relevant legal cases. The novelty of this study lies in its normative construction positioning online gambling and online lending not merely as social or economic deviations, but as causa juridica of contested divorce through rechtsvinding. The findings show that both practices may be legally qualified as grounds for contested divorce because they result in neglect of maintenance, destruction of marital trust, accumulation of household debt, and persistent conflict that substantially undermines the legal structure of marriage.     Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis konstruksi hukum cerai gugat akibat judi online dan pinjaman online dalam hukum perkawinan Indonesia. Permasalahan ini penting karena kedua praktik tersebut semakin sering memicu perkara cerai gugat di pengadilan agama dan telah bergeser dari persoalan sosial-ekonomi menjadi sengketa hukum keluarga yang memengaruhi nafkah, stabilitas ekonomi, kepercayaan pasangan, dan keberlangsungan perkawinan. Urgensi penelitian ini terletak pada belum adanya pengaturan eksplisit yang menempatkan judi online dan pinjaman online sebagai alasan perceraian yang berdiri sendiri, sehingga menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum dalam praktik peradilan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan kasus, dengan bahan hukum primer berupa UU Perkawinan, PP No. 9 Tahun 1975, dan Kompilasi Hukum Islam, serta didukung bahan hukum sekunder dari literatur ilmiah dan kasus hukum yang relevan. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada konstruksi normatif yang menempatkan judi online dan pinjaman online tidak sekadar sebagai penyimpangan sosial atau ekonomi, melainkan sebagai causa juridica cerai gugat melalui pendekatan rechtsvinding. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keduanya secara yuridis dapat dikualifikasikan sebagai dasar cerai gugat karena menimbulkan penelantaran nafkah, kerusakan kepercayaan, beban utang rumah tangga, dan konflik berkepanjangan yang secara substansial merusak struktur hukum perkawinan.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of electoral dispute resolution in Indonesia and formulate an Electoral Court design as an institutional reform within the electoral justice system. The study employs normative and empirical legal methods using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, complemented by interviews with the Semarang City Bawaslu concerning electoral violations during the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections. The findings demonstrate that electoral dispute resolution remains fragmented due to the distribution of authority among Bawaslu, DKPP, Gakkumdu, general courts, Administrative Courts, and the Constitutional Court, compounded by time constraints, divergent interpretations, weak coordination, and evidentiary difficulties. Comparison with Brazil and Uruguay demonstrates the importance of adjudicative integration, institutional independence, legitimacy, and institutional certainty in strengthening electoral justice. The novelty of this study lies in proposing an Indonesian Electoral Court model that integrates a normative evaluation of the entire electoral dispute-resolution regime, empirical findings from Gakkumdu, and comparative lessons while preserving the constitutional jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court. The proposed model is designed as a specialized judiciary with integrated electoral jurisdiction and procedural rules to strengthen legal certainty, dispute-resolution effectiveness, and the protection of electoral rights.   Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis efektivitas penyelesaian sengketa pemilu di Indonesia dan merumuskan desain Electoral Court sebagai reformasi kelembagaan dalam sistem electoral justice. Penelitian menggunakan metode hukum normatif dan empiris dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan perbandingan hukum, serta wawancara dengan Bawaslu Kota Semarang terkait penanganan pelanggaran pada Pilkada Serentak 2024. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyelesaian sengketa pemilu belum terintegrasi akibat fragmentasi kewenangan antara Bawaslu, DKPP, Gakkumdu, peradilan umum, Pengadilan Tata Usaha Negara, dan Mahkamah Konstitusi, yang diperkuat oleh keterbatasan waktu, perbedaan interpretasi, lemahnya koordinasi, dan kendala pembuktian. Perbandingan dengan Brasil dan Uruguay menunjukkan pentingnya integrasi kewenangan adjudikatif, independensi, legitimasi, dan kepastian kelembagaan dalam memperkuat electoral justice. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada perumusan model Electoral Court Indonesia yang mengintegrasikan evaluasi normatif seluruh rezim penyelesaian sengketa, temuan empiris Gakkumdu, dan pembelajaran komparatif dengan tetap mempertahankan kewenangan konstitusional Mahkamah Konstitusi. Model tersebut diarahkan sebagai peradilan khusus dengan kompetensi dan hukum acara kepemiluan yang terintegrasi untuk memperkuat kepastian hukum, efektivitas penyelesaian sengketa, dan perlindungan hak elektoral.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors that hinder and support the change from conventional land title certificates to electronic certificates and examine the normative conditions of electronic certificates in providing certainty and legal protection. This study uses a normative legal research method with a statutory and conceptual approach. This study departs from the existence of normative ambiguity in the use of the phrase can be done electronically as contained in Article 84 paragraph (1) of “Government Regulation Number 18 of 2021 and Article 2 paragraph (2) of the Regulation of the Minister of ATR/Head of BPN Number 1 of 2021 concerning Electronic Certificates, which gives the impression of a dualism of the legal system in regulating land title certificates between conventional and electronic systems. The results of the study indicate that the change from the land registration system to electronic certificates is part of an effort to modernize land services aimed at increasing efficiency, transparency, and legal protection. However, its implementation still faces various obstacles, such as limited infrastructure, the digital divide, minimal socialization, and unclear norms that lead to legal uncertainty and the degradation of the evidentiary power of electronic certificates, which only serve as valid evidence but do not yet have the full evidentiary power of conventional certificates. Therefore, norm reconstruction and regulatory harmonization are needed to clarify the legal basis, strengthen the validity of evidence, and realize electronic certificates that provide certainty and legal protection.   Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang menghambat dan mendukung perubahan sertifikat hak atas tanah konvensional menuju sertifikat elektronik serta mengkaji kondisi normatif sertifikat elektronik dalam memberikan kepastian dan perlindungan hukum terhadap kepemilikan hak atas tanah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual. Penelitian ini beranjak dari adanya kekaburan norma dalam penggunaan frasa ‘‘dapat dilakukan secara elektronik’’ sebagaimana termuat dalam Pasal 84 ayat (1) Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 18 Tahun 2021 dan Pasal 2 ayat (2) Peraturan Menteri ATR/Kepala BPN Nomor 1 Tahun 2021 tentang Sertifikat Elektronik, yang menimbulkan kesan adanya dualisme sistem hukum dalam pengaturan sertifikat hak atas tanah antara sistem konvensional dan sistem elektronik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perubahan sistem pendaftaran tanah menuju sertifikat elektronik merupakan bagian dari upaya modernisasi pelayanan pertanahan yang bertujuan meningkatkan efisiensi, transparansi, dan perlindungan hukum bagi pemegang hak atas tanah. Namun, implementasinya masih menghadapi berbagai hambatan, seperti keterbatasan infrastruktur, kesenjangan digital, minimnya sosialisasi, serta kekaburan norma yang menyebabkan ketidakpastian hukum dan terdegradasinya kekuatan pembuktian sertifikat elektronik yang hanya berstatus sebagai alat bukti yang sah, tetapi belum memiliki kekuatan pembuktian sempurna sebagaimana sertifikat konvensional”. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan rekonstruksi norma dan harmonisasi regulasi untuk memperjelas dasar hukum, memperkuat validitas pembuktian, serta mewujudkan sertifikat elektronik yang memberikan kepastian dan perlindungan hukum bagi pemegang hak atas tanah di Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the urgency of strengthening the institutional framework of the Honorary Council of Election Organizers (DKPP) within Indonesia’s electoral governance system. Previous studies have primarily focused on ethical enforcement, institutional authority, and member recruitment, while limited attention has been given to DKPP’s structural independence. Employing normative legal research with a qualitative library approach, this study examines legislation, Constitutional Court decisions, DKPP decisions, scholarly journals, books, and other relevant legal materials. The findings show that DKPP’s institutional independence remains constrained by three structural issues: a politically vulnerable member selection mechanism, the dependence of its secretariat on the Ministry of Home Affairs, and unequal institutional design compared with the General Election Commission (KPU) and the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu). Strengthening DKPP requires an independent and participatory recruitment mechanism, an autonomous secretariat, and the reconstruction of DKPP as an independent court of ethics. The novelty of this study lies in analyzing DKPP through the perspective of structural independence by integrating institutional design, member recruitment, and secretariat autonomy within the framework of electoral governance to safeguard electoral integrity and democratic legitimacy.   Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis urgensi penguatan kelembagaan Dewan Kehormatan Penyelenggara Pemilu (DKPP) dalam sistem electoral governance di Indonesia. Kajian mengenai DKPP sebelumnya lebih banyak berfokus pada penegakan kode etik, kewenangan, dan rekrutmen anggota, sedangkan independensi struktural masih terbatas dikaji. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan kualitatif melalui studi kepustakaan terhadap peraturan perundang-undangan, putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi, putusan DKPP, buku, jurnal ilmiah, dan bahan hukum lainnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa independensi DKPP masih menghadapi tiga persoalan struktural, yaitu mekanisme seleksi anggota yang rentan terhadap pengaruh politik, ketergantungan sekretariat pada Kementerian Dalam Negeri, serta ketimpangan desain kelembagaan dibandingkan dengan KPU dan Bawaslu. Penguatan DKPP perlu dilakukan melalui mekanisme rekrutmen yang independen dan partisipatif, sekretariat yang mandiri, serta rekonstruksi DKPP sebagai court of ethics yang independen. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada analisis penguatan DKPP melalui perspektif independensi struktural yang mengintegrasikan desain kelembagaan, mekanisme rekrutmen, dan kemandirian sekretariat dalam kerangka electoral governance untuk menjaga integritas pemilu dan legitimasi demokrasi.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forms of abuse of Limited Liability Companies as instruments of money laundering by public officials and the legal liability arising from such abuse in the case of Rafael Alun Trisambodo. The complexity of Money Laundering demonstrates that corporations may be utilized to conceal the origin and control of assets derived from corruption and gratification. This issue relates to the potential misuse of the principles of separate legal entity and limited liability to obscure the relationship between perpetrators, assets, and predicate crimes. The novelty of this study lies in integrating the concepts of beneficial ownership, corporate criminal liability, and the piercing the corporate veil doctrine to analyze the abuse of Limited Liability Companies as instruments of Money Laundering. This study employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The findings show that Limited Liability Companies may be utilized through affiliated companies, nominee arrangements, and hidden beneficial ownership structures to conceal proceeds of crime and complicate law enforcement. Legal liability does not stop at the corporation as a formal legal entity but is directed toward individuals who exercise actual control, obtain economic benefits, and use corporations to conceal proceeds of crime. Strengthening law enforcement requires integrating beneficial ownership data with tax supervision systems and developing guidelines for law enforcement authorities in applying the piercing the corporate veil doctrine.   Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis disfungsi prinsip checks and balances antara legislatif dan eksekutif pascakerusuhan Jakarta Agustus 2025 serta implikasinya terhadap pembentukan kebijakan publik dan constitutional governance dalam perspektif Hukum Tata Negara. Penelitian berangkat dari kesenjangan antara desain konstitusional yang menghendaki keseimbangan kekuasaan dengan praktik ketatanegaraan dalam sistem presidensial multipartai. Kerusuhan Jakarta Agustus 2025 memperlihatkan kegagalan mekanisme checks and balances dalam merespons krisis politik sehingga melemahkan fungsi pengawasan DPR, memperkuat kecenderungan executive heavy, dan menurunkan kualitas constitutional governance. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan kasus yang dianalisis secara deskriptif-analitis melalui studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa disfungsi checks and balances tidak disebabkan oleh kelemahan norma konstitusi, melainkan oleh konfigurasi politik yang mengurangi independensi DPR dalam menjalankan fungsi pengawasan. Kondisi tersebut berdampak pada menurunnya kualitas pembentukan kebijakan publik, akuntabilitas penyelenggaraan pemerintahan, dan efektivitas pembatasan kekuasaan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa penguatan independensi DPR, optimalisasi fungsi pengawasan, dan pelaksanaan prinsip checks and balances secara konsisten merupakan prasyarat untuk mewujudkan constitutional governance. Kebaruan penelitian terletak pada analisis keterkaitan disfungsi checks and balances pascakerusuhan Jakarta Agustus 2025 dengan kecenderungan executive heavy dalam perspektif Hukum Tata Negara Indonesia.
