Abstract

This fundamental change is a manifestation of the will to reorganize the structure, mechanism and practice of statehood which during the reign of the New Order regime was considered to deviate from the constitutional mandate of the 1945 Constitution, and also deviate from the principles of the democratic rule of law. The main objective is to organize all state institutions to create a mechanism of mutual supervision and balance (checks and balances) among state institutions. As a result, on one side there are state institutions that have received significant additional authority, while on the other hand there are some state institutions that have reduced their authority. The method used depends on what concept is meant about the law. Changes in the position and authority of the People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia (MPR RI) due to changes to the 1945 Constitution carried out in 1999 - 2002 are not in accordance with the ideals of the law (rechsidee) and the ideals of the state (staatsidee) of Indonesia based on Pancasila as the basis of state philosophy (philosophissche grondslag) and as a fundamental norm of the state (Staats Fundamental Norm)
