The main problem of this research is that there is no firmness regarding the diction of individual words in the Constitution which is useful as a condition for nominating Regional Representative Council or Dewan Perwakilan Daerah (DPD) membership. This indecisiveness has led to the composition of DPD membership being dominated by members of political parties. This journal aims to explore the meaning of the diction of words contained in the 1945 NRI Constitution, namely "Individual" which is clearly written in Article 22E paragraph (4) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia after the Constitutional Court Decision No30/PUU-XVI/2018. The meaning of the term “individual” in this article will determine the conditions for nominating members of the DPD so that they are more in line with the objectives of establishing the institution. This journal uses a statutory approach and a historical approach. The results of this discussion show that the original intense definition concluded by the author regarding the word "individual" in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia after the Constitutional Court Decision has the following meaning: an individual who does not have a political party background or political party management and really understands his / her region.

The major implication from Constitutional Court Decision No. 14/PUU-XI/2013 is that the Constitution promotes fundamental changes to the design of the general election regarding both process and substance. Therefore, in order to uphold the Constitution, efforts are required to reconstruct the design of the general election, particularly so that elections are conducted in accordance with Decision No. 14/PUU-XI/2013 as a representation of the spirit and the will of the 1945 Constitution. Essentially, the current norm regarding the implementation of general elections following the election of members of the representative institution is not consistent with the stipulations in Article 22E Paragraph (1) and Paragraph (2) and Article 1 Paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution. Constitutional Court Decision No. 14/PUU-XI/2013 aims to realign the implementation of the elections with the intentions of the 1945 Constitution. Through implementation of the original intent method and systematic interpretation, the Constitutional Court offered its interpretation that the framers of the amended Constitution intended that general elections have five ballot boxes, with the first for the People’s Representative Council (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat, DPR), the second for the Regional Representative Council (Dewan Perwakilan Daerah, DPD), the third for the president and vice president, the fourth for the Regional People’s Representative Council (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah, DPRD) at the provincial level and the fifth for the DPRD at the regency level. Thus, it can be concluded that the presidential elections should be conducted simultaneously with elections of members of the representative bodies. Through this decision, the Constitutional Court revoked the prevailing norm, such that Presidential Elections and Elections of members of representative bodies were no longer valid because they violated the 1945 Constitution. The Constitutional Court introduced a new legal condition that obligated General Elections to be held simultaneously.

ABSTRACTOn the 6th day of January 2020, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia has issued a Decree Number 18/PUU-XVII/2019 (“the Constitutional Court Decree”), which decides that regarding the phrase “has an equal enforceable power as the court decisions that have permanent legal force” on Article 15 Paragraph (2) of the Law number 42 year 1999 on Fiduciary (“the Law No. 42/1999”), is in contradiction with the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and shall have no legal binding power if it is not considered to be “towards any fiduciary that have no consent on default and the debtor has raised an objection to surrender the fiduciary object voluntarily. Furthermore the phrase “default” on Article 15 Paragraph (3) of the Law No. 42/1999 is in contradiction with the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and shall have no legal binding power if it is not considered to be “a default shall not be determined solely by the creditor, but should be based on a consent between the creditor and debtor or based on any legal actions which determine the said default.”The Constitutional Court gives a legal interpretation that the executorial power of the Fiduciary Certificate is not considered automatically being applicable, but it shall depend on certain condition(s), i.e.: a consent on default by the creditor and debtor, and /or the willingness of the debtor to voluntarily surrender its fiduciary objects. This Decree will give an impact to the creditor because Fiduciary is supposed to have a character of ease on the execution if the debtor is in default (Elucidation of Article 15 Paragraph (3) Law No. 42/1999), but now if the debtor refused to cooperate, then the creditor should have a decree from the Court first before executing any fiduciary object.The type of this legal research is juridical normative with a legal and conceptual approaches. Keywords: Constitutional Court Decree No. 18/PUU-XVII/2019; Execution; Fiduciary ABSTRAK  Pada tanggal 6 Januari 2020 Mahkamah Konstitusi Republik Indonesia telah mengeluarkan Putusan Nomor 18/PUU-XVII/2019 (“Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi”)  yang menentukan bahwa frasa “kekuatan eksekutorial” dan “sama dengan putusan pengadilan yang berkekuatan hukum tetap” pada Pasal 15 Ayat (2) Undang-Undang Nomor 42 Tahun 1999 tentang Jaminan Fidusia (“UU No. 42/1999”), bertentangan dengan UUD 1945 dan tidak mempunyai kekuatan hukum mengikat sepanjang tidak dimaknai “terhadap jaminan fidusia yang tidak ada kesepakatan tentang cidera janji dan debitur keberatan menyerahkan secara sukarela objek yang menjadi jaminan fidusia. Selain itu frasa “cidera janji” pada Pasal 15 Ayat (3) UU No. 42/1999 juga dinyatakan bertentangan dengan UUD 1945 dan tidak mempunyai kekuatan hukum mengikat sepanjang tidak dimaknai bahwa “adanya cidera janji tidak ditentukan secara sepihak oleh kreditur melainkan atas dasar kesepakatan antara kreditur dengan debitur atau atas dasar upaya hukum yang menentukan telah terjadinya cidera janji.”Mahkamah Konstitusi telah memberikan penafsiran hukum bahwa kekuatan eksekutorial Sertifikat Jaminan Fidusia tidak serta merta dapat diberlakukan, namun digantungkan pada suatu keadaan tertentu, misalnya: kesepakatan cidera janji oleh kreditur dan debitur, dan/atau kesediaan debitur untuk menyerahkan objek jaminan fidusia dengan sukarela.Keputusan ini memberikan dampak kepada kreditur karena seharusnya Jaminan Fidusia mempunyai sifat mudah dalam eksekusi apabila debitur wanprestasi (Penjelasan Pasal 15 Ayat (3) UU No. 42/1999), tetapi saat ini apabila debitur menolak bekerjasama, maka kreditur harus memperoleh putusan pengadilan lebih dahulu sebelum melakukan eksekusi.Tipe penelitian hukum ini adalah yuridis normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan undang-undang dan pendekatan konseptual. Kata Kunci: Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi 18/PUU-XVII/2019; Eksekutorial; Fidusia

This study aims to review the Republic of Indonesia's Constitutional Court Decision No. 97/PUU-XIV/2016. The Decision states that the provisions of Law No. 23 of 2006, Article 61(1) and (2) and Article 64(1) and (5) relating to the clearing of the column of religion in the family card and electronic identity card, are contrary to the Constitution. This study was designed to be qualitative for this purpose and uses normative methods of legal research. This study found that the decision of the Constitutional Court was not in line with Islamic Sharia and the Constitution of 1945 because it had an impact on the recognition of indigenous beliefs and their followers in order to have the same position in Indonesia as religions and their followers. This condition is damaging to society. According to the Islamic principle of sadd adz-dzarai, if it leads to something that is prohibited, something that is permitted must be closed or stopped. As respect to the Constitution of 1945, the provisions of Article 28E paragraph (1) and paragraph (2) of the Constitution of 1945, where religions and indigenous beliefs are classified as two separate and distinct entities, are more relevant constitutional norms to be referred to.

Tulisan ini ingin menjawab dua isu utama mengenai hubungan hukum internasional dan pengujian undang-undang oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi RI (MKRI). Isu pertama adalah legitimasi penggunaan hukum internasional sebagai alat interpretasi dalam pengujian undang-undang, sedangkan isu kedua adalah urgensi penguasaan hukum internasional oleh hakim MKRI. Tulisan ini merupakan penelitian hukum yang menggunakan pendekatan konseptual dan pendekatan historis dalam menjelaskan perkembangan pengujian undang-undang di Indonesia sekaligus menemukan legitimasi penggunaan hukum internasional oleh MK RI. Kesimpulan dari tulisan ini menegaskan bahwa hukum internasional memiliki sumbangsih yang penting dalam perannya sebagai alat interpretasi dalam proses pengujian undang-undang oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi, khususnya terkait hak asasi manusia. Justifikasi keabsahan praktik penggunaan hukum internasional tersebut ditarik dari tradisi ketatanegaraan yang secara implisit dikehendaki UUD NRI Tahun 1945. Manfaat positif yang diberikan hukum internasional nyatanya harus disertai juga dengan penguasaan hukum internasional oleh hakim MK RI supaya hukum internasional dapat digunakan secara tepat. Pembahasan dalam tulisan ini dibagi ke dalam empat sub bahasan inti yakni, pengujian undang-undang, penggunaan hukum internasional sebagai the interpretative tool dalam pengujian undang-undang oleh MK, legitimasi penggunaan hukum internasional sebagai the interpretative tool dalam pengujian undang-undang, pentingnya penguasaan hukum internasional oleh hakim MK.This article intentionally answers two principal issues regarding the relationship between international law and judicial review by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia. The first issue is the legitimacy of international use as an interpretative tool in judicial review. The second issue talks about the necessity of urgent international law mastery by the Constitutional Court’s judges. This legal research utilizes both a conceptual approach and a historical approach to explain the development of judicial review in Indonesia, and to find legitimacy of international law by the Constitutional Court. The analysis in this article affirms that international law positively contributes as an interpretative tool in judicial review by the Constitutional Court, particularly pertaining to human rights. A justification of a legitimate international law use is withdrawn from constitutional tradition which is implicitly desired by the Indonesian Constitution (UUD NRI 1945). Since international law has provided better insights into norms, a mastery of international law should be encouraged. There are four main discussions in this article: judicial review, application of international law in judicial review process, legitimacy of international law application in judicial review, and the importance of international law mastering by Constitutional Court judges.
