Abstract

In the presidential system of government, the Head of Government is held by the President, and the constitution of each country determines his terms of office in the proposal. This research compares presidential term arrangements in Indonesia, the United States, and the Philippines, focusing on the duration of the term of office and period limits. The legal research method used in this research is normative juridical research to answer the issues to be discussed. This research aims to examine three countries with the same system of government but different presidential term periods. The results of this study show that in Indonesia, the president serves for five years with a maximum of two terms. In the United States, the president also has a four-year term limited to two terms. Meanwhile, in the Philippines, the president serves a six-year term without the possibility of re-election. The research found that these different arrangements reflect each country's historical and political context and have implications for political stability, policy continuity, and electoral dynamics.

Abstract

In Indonesia, the impeachment process is regulated in the 1945 Constitution and Law no.  24 of 2003 concerning the Constitutional Court.  The process is initiated by the House of Representatives (DPR) which proposes impeachment if the President or Vice President is suspected of committing a violation of law, treason against the state, corruption, or disgraceful acts.  After the proposal is approved by the DPR, the Constitutional Court examines and decides whether any violations have been committed.  If the Constitutional Court declares it proven, this decision is sent back to the DPR for final approval.  After that, the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) can dismiss the President or Vice President.  Although both countries have similar mechanisms involving parliament and the judiciary, the differences lie in the institutions involved and the stages of the process.  Impeachment reflects the principle of checks and balances in the government system to maintain the accountability of high-ranking officials.

Abstract

Every individual has the right to freedom of religion, one of the principles of human rights that cannot be revoked. This principle recognizes a person's freedom to choose or not choose a religion and to switch from one religion to another. This freedom of thought is part of human dignity that must be guaranteed unconditionally, including the right to worship and believe according to one's conscience and mind. The research method used normative legal research, based on literature analysis and legal principles as the primary data, using conceptual, comparative, and legislative approaches. In Japan, applying the belief system is often associated with cultural rituals, especially in festivals that are part of Shinto teachings. Although Japan is known as a modern and technologically advanced country, traditional values are still maintained and become attractive. The 1945 constitution of Indonesia does not prohibit proselytism like Greece. Still, the First Precept of Pancasila recognizes the existence of God Almighty, which means that everyone is obliged to respect the religion and beliefs of others.

Abstract

Elections are a mechanism that allows people to voice their choices. This process is used as a tool to exercise sovereignty in the country's system of representative democracy and to maintain government power in an orderly and peaceful manner by the mechanisms determined by the constitution or applicable laws. This paper will discuss the electoral systems in Indonesia and the United Kingdom (UK) and compare the two. Based on research into the law, it is known that Indonesia's electoral system uses a proportional system, which calculates the number of seats based on the number of voters in the electoral district. Countries with large populations will get more seats in representative bodies. Meanwhile, the UK uses a majoritarian system or District System, where each electoral district has only one seat with a simple majority calculation (simple majority: A>B>C>D, where A is the winner).

Abstract

The purpose of this comparison is the reconstruction of the law. The requirements for future presidents and vice presidential candidates are listed in Article 6a, paragraph 2. However, the pros and cons of this rule are still often raised, as it reduces the individual's right to stand as president and vice president, thus requiring legislative amendments. This research uses a method of normative law research, where the approach used in this research is a legal approach and a comparative approach. The threshold in Brazil is different from Indonesia. According to J. Mark Payne, when discussing the threshold in the presidential election, what is meant is the condition of a presidential candidate to be elected president. The threshold for elected presidents in Brazil with 50% + 1 vote is laid down in Article 147. In Indonesia, such a limit is a condition for the nomination of a President and Vice-President to advance in the contest for the election of the President and Vice-Presidents. In contrast, the threshing limit for nomination for the President of the Republic of Indonesia is in Article 222, which stipulates that the pair of candidates must be proposed by the political party or association of political parties participating in the election and meet the requirement to obtain 20% (twenty percent) of the number of seats in the House of Representatives or 25% (Twenty-five percent) from the national valid votes in the previous election of members of the House.

Abstract

Freedom of expression is the right of people to freely express their opinions through various media without considering their limitations and without violating the rights of others. One example of the spread of fake news that has the potential to damage reputation is the spread of hoax news, which mainly occurs in Indonesia and South Korea. This study aims to understand the comparison of regulations governing the spread of fake news in Indonesia and South Korea and how the government faces this problem in the election process. The method used is a normative methodology through a legislative approach, which allows a comparison of freedom of opinion regulations in spreading fake news between Indonesia and South Korea. In Indonesia, freedom of opinion is regulated in Article 28 E paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and Article 1 paragraph (1) of Law Number 9 of 1998 concerning Independence, while South Korea indirectly regulates freedom of opinion regulated in Article 21 paragraph 4 of the South Korean Law. In Indonesia and South Korea, special regulations are given regarding sanctions against perpetrators of spreading fake news, in Indonesia is contained in Article 28, paragraph (1) and paragraph (2) of Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions, while South Korea is substantially stated in Criminal Act No. 14415 Article 307. However, it is necessary to ensure that freedom of expression is not used to circulate fake news, which is a symptom of a problem rather than the root of the issue itself.

Abstract

This research is based on comparing the Indonesian and Chinese constitutions regarding the existence of atheists and the factors that cause differences in the recognition of the Indonesian and Chinese states against atheism. This research uses normative legal research methods focusing on legal objects with a comparative approach to law and legislation. The existence of atheists in the Indonesian constitution originated from communism with an anti-God attitude contrary to the Indonesian constitution, which is by the first principle of Pancasila and article 29 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. This is very contrary to the Chinese constitution, which regulates freedom of religion and gives the right to embrace or not embrace any religion, meaning that China recognizes the existence of atheists. The Chinese constitution acknowledges the existence of atheists based on the communist ideology adopted.

Abstract

This study aims to examine and analyse the forms of regulation of freedom of opinion in the formation of good laws in Indonesia and Malaysia and how the practice and obstacles to freedom of opinion on social media between the two. In the research method, the statutory regulatory approach (Statute Approach), analytical approach (Analytical Approach), and case approach (Case Approach) are used as aspects of normative analysis. Legal materials are collected by tracing authoritative documents related to legal issues and using the literature study method. The legal materials collected are then described descriptively by combining and comparing regulations about freedom of opinion/expression to answer the legal issues raised and reach a clear solution. The results of this study show that the existence of rules that have regulated freedom of expression/opinion for Indonesia and Malaysia is still a debate in its civil society. In Malaysia, the main challenge is the strict regulations often used to suppress freedom of expression in the interests of its constitution. In Indonesia, freedom of expression rules is considered repressive, too broad, and prone to abuse to silence public criticism in the mass media.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find a solution to the weakness of the dispute resolution regulation on the results of the village head election, which is considered to have caused ongoing problems due to the existence of a legal vacuum related to the mechanism for fulfilling the rights of the people who are harmed by the determination of the results of the Village Head Election. This research contributes to creating a dispute resolution model for the election of village heads based on local wisdom values in Indonesia.  This study uses empirical legal research methods with socio-legal and anthropo-legal approaches. The results of this study reveal that the proposed model, which involves the existence of judicial institutions at the village level that apply informally and are used as a legal tradition of the Madura community, can be a game-changer in resolving disputes over the results of village heads. This method is considered able to resolve Village head election disputes more quickly and peacefully because they are determined by figures who influence the socio-cultural structure of the Madura community. The results of this study can be used as a reference in implementing policies and legal arrangements related to the dispute resolution mechanism for the results of the Village head election, either independently by the village government or by the Pamekasan Regency Government in making Regional Regulations (Perda) related to the settlement of disputes over the results of the Village head election in Pamekasan Regency.

Abstract

This article examines the importance of state power in regulating religion in a limited scope. This is intended to solve classic problems, such as the state immediately fulfilling the constitutional rights of local religious adherents. Even though the Constitutional Court partially recognizes the existence of local religions through decision No.97/PUU-XIV/2016, this decision does not change the legal status of local religions, which are not considered official state religions. This research contributes to efforts to fulfill the right to freedom of religion for followers of Indigenous religions through policy design that does not restrict local religions from becoming official state religions. This study employed a normative legal research method, which concludes that the state's involvement in limiting local religions is by issuing various rules that distinguish religion from belief and standardizing religion, which closes the opportunity for local religions to be recognized as an official state religion. Limitations on state power can be carried out by issuing state regulations in religion, which limits to regulate fostering harmony of religious life and upholding the freedom of religion and avoiding regulatory patterns that classify religions and standardize religion because it will hinder the fulfilment of the constitutional rights of belief adherents
