The body (article by article) of this constitution also explicitly states that the State of Indonesia is a state of law based on popular sovereignty. This research is a normative legal research with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of this study suggest that the obligations of the government in the Indonesian State of Law are duties and functions to create prosperity and welfare of the people.

Sec. 42 of the Interpretation Ordinance [New Version] provides that: “Save as may be otherwise expressly provided therein, no enactment shall affect any right of, or impose any obligation upon, the State.”It is generally accepted that the source of the section lies in the traditional supremacy of the English Crown. Since the Crown is the lawmaker it cannot be fettered by the laws it makes unless there is express provision to that effect. On the other hand where laws confer rights upon the Crown, a contrary rule sometimes operates that a statute is to be interpreted in favour of the Crown, since in enacting it the King's subjects act as grantors of rights and the rule against derogation from grant takes effect. In point of logic, however, even without express provision there is nothing to prevent a lawgiver from placing restrictions upon himself.In Jewish thought indeed although the law emanates from the Almighty, who is indeniably Supreme Authority—”the King of Kings”—it is deemed to apply even to Him.It is surprising therefore to note that even in the United States, that model of democracy where the rights of the individual are so protected, the English approach has been adopted and extended to every government body even in the area of private law.

In both Germany and Italy before WWI, populations labelled as Gypsies found themselves in a “state of exception” which aimed at their elimination from the nation-state by targeting them with policies emanating from the executive. Both states adhered to the liberal idea of equality before the law, but used the flexibility provided by executive authority to pressure Gypsies to leave the state. After WWI, both Germany and Italy were forced to retain “Gypsies” inside the state as a result of changing geopolitical circumstances. However, in fascist Italy before WWII, executive authorities continued to operate in a “state of exception” and ceased adhering to the rule of law, interning Gypsies in concentration camps and seeking to eliminate them through forced assimilation. In Weimar Germany, legislative policies sought to eliminate Gypsies through bringing them inside of the law. The contradiction between increasingly racialized notion of Gypsy inassimilability and forced assimilation’s inevitable failures certainly laid the groundwork for extreme measures in both places during WWII.

This chapter analyzes the concept of rule of law. It examines Gustav Radbruch's theory since his argument against the extremes of Nazi law was a pivotal moment in the re-emergence of antipositivist conceptions of legality. It then elaborates Lon L. Fuller's account of eight constitutive, formal features of law that, he contends, begin to get at the “inner morality of law.” Next, the chapter offers a version of Caesar Beccaria's argument that the formal and procedural elements constituting the rule of law should be conceived as, on the one hand, generating the necessary conditions for relations between the citizen and the state and, on the other hand, among citizens themselves that will be sufficient to free individuals from coercive, force-based relations both among themselves and between themselves and the state.

One important element of the rule of law is that any government action must be based on law. The consequence is that laws must be made, implemented and enforced. Therefore, the state has the power to make laws to regulate all its activities. The Supreme Court as one of the highest judicial institutions in Indonesia has the status of all the courts and as the highest court for the four judicial institutions. The regulating and oversight functions are part of the functions of the Supreme Court, where the Supreme Court is authorized to issue further regulations in the form of Supreme Court Regulations and Supreme Court Circular Letters, where Supreme Court Regulations are regulating, whereas Supreme Court Circular Letters are as policy regulations. However, in practice the substance of the Supreme Court Circular is often not in accordance with its requirements, namely as a policy regulation. One of them is the Supreme Court Circular Letter Number 2 Year 2016 concerning Increasing Efficiency and Transparency in Handling Bankruptcy Cases and Delaying Obligations of Debt Payment in Courts. The writing of this thesis will discuss the authority of the Supreme Court in determining the substance of the Supreme Court Circular Number 2 of 2016 in terms of statutory knowledge. Judging from its nature, the research used is descriptive analysis using normative legal research.

‘Citizenship, legal status, and proof of identity: identity as a legal concept’ explains that individual identity is the cornerstone of the rule of law and the relation of state and citizen. In law, it has to do with that which makes a person (or thing) distinct from any other person (or thing). It means that a subject is the same as it claims, or is charged, to be. The digital turn has added a new aspect to our legal identity, and protecting us against identity theft is a new obligation of the state, while we have no choice but to learn to protect ourselves against profit-seeking corporations, on the one hand, and a surveillance state, on the other.

The existence of human rights in the conception of the rule of law and democracy in Indonesia is the most basic. However, the concept of regulating human rights by the state does not mean that there is a restriction on human rights by the State, but the concept is regulation by the State.
