The authority of the Constitutional Court in the current regulations in Indonesia still does not fully protect the constitutional rights of the citizens. This is reflected by seeing that the examination that were accommodated only covered the abstract review (there were no concrete cases in the court). This condition causes the absence of legal remedies to resolve the issue of constitutionality of legal norms in the court (concrete review), even though often the issue of constitutionality of laws is precisely found in court proceedings. This research is a dogmatic legal research. The primary legal material usedis the Law of the Constitutional Court, whilst the secondary legal material consists of books, journals, and other relevant sourcesrelated to the issues discussed in this research. Based on this research, it was found that it is necessary to raise a constitutional question so that the Acts that are being examined can be annuled by the Constitutional Court and articles that are considered in contrary to the constitution cannot be used as a basis by the judge to decide related cases that being examined concretely. AbstrakWewenang Mahkamah Konstitusi yang ada dalam peraturan perundang-undangan di Indonesia saat ini masih belum melindungi hak-hak konstitusional warga negara secara penuh. Hal ini tercermin dari pengujian yang diakomodasi hanyalah melingkupi abstract review (belum adanya kasus konkrit di pengadilan). Kondisi ini menyebabkan tidak adanya upaya hukum menyelesaikan persoalan konstitusionalitas norma hukum di pengadilan (concrete review), padahal sering kali persoalan konstitusionalitas undang-undang justru ditemukan dari proses di pengadilan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum dogmatik. Bahan hukum primer yang digunakan yaitu Undang-Undang Mahkamah Konstitusi, sedangkan bahan hukum sekunder terdiri dari buku, jurnal, dan sumber lain yang relevan dengan masalah yang dibahas dalam penelitian ini. Berdasarkan penelitian ini, ditemukan bahwa perlu diterapkannya constitutional question supaya undang-undang yang diujikan dapat dibatalkan oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi dan pasal yang dinilai bertentangan dengan konstitusi tersebut tidak dapat dijadikan dasar oleh hakim untuk memutus terkait kasus yang diujikan secara konkrit.

Constitutional complaint is one of important issues to be dealt with by severral countries issues adopting constitutional court in their national legal system and the Federal Constitutional Court Germany (Bundesverfassungsgericht) is considered by expert as one of the most advance mechanism among countries in dealing with the issue. Generally speaking, constitutional complaint can be described as a complaint or lawsuit filed by an individual citizen who deems his or her constitutional right (s) has been violates by act or omission of public institution or public official. Mostly, such a complaint can only be filed it theere is no other legal remedy available or all legal remedies available have been exhausted. The Constitutional Court of The Republic of Indonesia however is not entrusted with authority to hear constitutional complaint case not withstanding the fact that statistical data on judicial review cases filed by many petitioners before the Court were substantially constitutional complaint issues. It means that, empirically giving the Court to hear constitutional complaint case is necessarily pivotal and theoritically, the Court has the very foundation to be entrusted withq such authority. Considering the complex mechanism to amend the Constitution of 1945, which exhaustively deserible the court’s authorities, this article offers the lawmaker a theoretical insight tio give the Court a limited authority to hear constitutional complaint case by the way of amending the law on Constitutional Court.

The formation of the Constitutional Court (MK) as a guardian of the constitution is basically intended to guarantee the implementation of the constitutional provisions (the 1945 Constitution) seriously in the administration of the state, as well as to realize constitutional supremacy in the Indonesian legal state. One of the contents of the 1945 Constitution is a guarantee of protection of basic human and citizen rights that have been accepted as constitutional rights. Because of that, the Court also functions to guarantee the implementation of these constitutional rights. However, for violations of constitutional rights included in the case of constitutional complaints submitted to the Constitutional Court, the resolution has not yet been dealt with, because their authority has not been regulated in the 1945 Constitution, so the idea of making constitutional complaints develops as the Constitutional Court's new authority. This paper discusses how the Constitutional Court's authority in protecting constitutional rights is based on the 1945 Constitution, and what about the ideas that emerged to add constitutional complaint as the Constitutional Court's new authority in protecting constitutional rights. In accordance with the problem, this research is a normative legal research using a legal approach accompanied by a comparative legal approach. The results of the study show that the authority of the Constitutional Court in protecting constitutional rights is only limited to the authority to examine the Law against the Constitution. From the ideas that emerged, there were three possibilities for entering constitutional complaint on the authority of the Constitutional Court, namely through changes to the 1945 Constitution, through changes to the Law and through interpretation by the Constitutional Court itself. Of the three ideas, the most appropriate is to change the 1945 Constitution so that it can provide a strong foundation in providing protection for citizens' constitutional rights.

This study is a normative legal research which aims at discovering answers of two fundamental questions, namely, first, how is the status of the decisions of the Indonesia’s Constitutional Court according to the country’s constitutional system; secondly, what legal remedies may be pursued by the Indonesian citizens who are followers of indigenous beliefs whose constitutional rights to embrace such beliefs remain infringed despite there has been the decision of the Indonesia’s Constitutional Court Number 97/PUU-XIV/2016 which confirms the constitutional guarantee of such beliefs.  With respect to the first issue, the study found that the status of the Court’s decision was equal to Law because it was the product of a negative legislator. In addition, because the Court was also the interpreter of the Constitution (UUD 1945), then its decision was the Court’s constitutional interpretation concerning the issue at hand. As to the second issue, the study found that the followers of indigenous beliefs could file several legal remedies, namely citizen suit; class action; individual law suit; and submitting a formal complaint to the president, as the highest chief administrative officer, asking the president to reprimand its subordinates and to instruct them to observe the Court decision. Kajian ini adalah sebuah penelitian hukum normatif yang bermaksud menemukan jawaban atas dua pertanyaan mendasar yaitu, pertama, bagaimana kedudukan dari putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi menurut sistem ketatanegaraan Indonesia; kedua, jalan hukum apa yang dapat ditempuh oleh warga negara Indonesia penghayat kepercayaan yang hak konstitusionalnya untuk menganut keyakinan tersebut tetap dirugikan meskipun telah ada Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 97/PUU-XIV/2016 yang menegaskan jaminan konstitusi terhadap hak tersebut. Terhadap isu pertama, kajian ini menemukan jawaban bahwa kedudukan putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi adalah setara dengan undang-undang karena merupakan produk dari negative legislator. Sebagai tambahan, oleh karena Mahkamah Konstitusi juga merupakan penafsir Konstitusi (UUD 1945), maka putusannya adalah penafsiran konstitusional Mahkamah terhadap masalah yang sedang ditanganinya. Terhadap isu kedua, kajian ini menemukan jawaban bahwa penghayat kepercayaan dapat mengajukan beberapa upaya hukum, yaitu gugatan warga negara, gugatan kelompok, gugatan individual, dan membuat pengaduan resmi kepada presiden, selaku kepala pemerintahan tertinggi, dan meminta agar presiden memperingatkan bawahannya serta memerintahkan mereka untuk mematuhi putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi.

This paper has three key issues. The first issue discusses the arguments constructed by applicant of judicial review (JR) to assess the constitutional rights’ violations caused by the application of Article 2 (1) UUP. The second issue discusses on how the Constitutional Court (MK) seated position of state associated marital affairs in the rejection of JR. The third issue discusses model of freedom of ijtihad (legal thought) on interfaith marriage as the impact of MK’s Decision. Based on    the discussion, regarding to the first issue, the applicant of JR assess the application of Article 2 (1) UUP has legitimized the state as the sole interpreters of religious teachings for a requirement validity of the marriage. According to the applicant,  the role is used by the state (The Office for Religious Affairs/KUA) to not accept interfaith marriage. This refusal led to the violation of some other constitutional rights. Furthermore, as the findings of the second issue, MK’s decision has placed   the real position of state not as interpreters of religious teachings, but merely to accommodate the results of religious scholars’s ijtihad regarding marriage into the state law. Thus, it is not true that the state has violated the constitutional right to more intervene the religious life of citizens. Last findings as the third issue, MK’s decision has affected the model of ijtihad freedom on interfaith marriage. Actually interfaith marriage can still be served through the Civil Registry Office (KCS). KCS could be an alternative way to facilitate the interfaith marriages for all religions in Indonesia. Special for KUA, the institution reject to record interfaith marriage.   In this way, it only accommodates freedom of ijtihad within the limits of ijtihad jama’i. KUA just accomodates ijtihad by institutions such as the Majelis Ulama Indonesia, Nahdlatul Ulama, Muhammadiyah and other similar institutions that reject interfaith marriage. Special for marriage in muslim community, ijtihad jama’i is better than ijtihad fardiy because the second could trigger the liberalization of marriage laws (temporary marriages, polygamy more than four, underage marriages and denial of recording).

Labor is something that is needed by an employing company in carrying out its economic activities. This can be seen in the constitutional arrangements of the Republic of Indonesia in Article 27 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. In the implementation of the working relationship between workers and the employing company, there are several rights and obligations that must be fulfilled between the two parties. Because there are provisions regarding work agreements that are differentiated based on the form of the agreement, each worker has different rights where these rights must be guaranteed by the company based on law. From this, the problems that will be examined are legal protection for workers with an unwritten work agreement at the employing company, as well as legal remedies that can be taken by workers with an unwritten agreement in the event of a violation of rights by the company. The research method used is normative legal research, namely legal research conducted by examining existing library materials. By examining problems by looking at existing regulations, and describing problems that occur in practice or in everyday life in society. From the research conducted, it was found that legal protection for workers with an unwritten work agreement at the employing company is regulated based on Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower where the basis is that the applicable work agreement is an indefinite work agreement so that the rights obtained under the provisions of the law. Then efforts that can be made if there is a violation of the law in work relations is based on Law Number 20 of 2004 concerning Industrial Relations Dispute Settlement, namely in the form of Bipartite, Tripartite (Mediation, Consoliation and Arbitration) negotiations, as well as through Trials at the Industrial Relations Court.

Indonesia as a state of the law has guaranteed the constitutional rights of each of its citizens without exception as a form of protection of human rights contained in Article 1 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution. Providing legal assistance to citizens who are unable as constitutional rights of every citizen and the State is obliged to protect the constitutional rights regarding obtaining guarantees, protections, and certainty of law that is fair and equal treatment before the law. Legal aid legally in Law Number 16 of 2011 is a legal service free of charge to legal aid recipients. The thing that becomes the basis for the provision of legal assistance by the State is because the State is responsible for providing legal assistance to disadvantaged citizens as a form of access to justice and equality before the law. The state has a role in terms of establishing regulations as the legal basis for implementing legal assistance for disadvantaged citizens. But in reality, in the development of legal aid, there are several problems between legal aid providers (advocates) and the State as a guarantor of the constitutional right to the realization of justice and equality before the law for every Indonesian citizen, including the poor.
