1945 Constitution (UUD 1945) as the basic rules or constitution of the
Republic of Indonesia has undergone changes or amendment four times. Each
change is a manifestation of the implementation of democracy to prevent the
possibility of abuses of authority and power that are authoritarian and also to
restore freedom and human rights and other democratic rights. In the explanation
of 1945 Constitution before the change, the number three roman said that "the
highest state power in the hands of the People's Consultative Assembly," stated
that the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) as a form of embodiment of all
Indonesian people, which can also be interpreted as an Indonesian parliament.
MPR is an institution that holds the state and implement the people's sovereignty,
or could be called the highest state institution. Amandement to the Constitution
that has changed the administrative structure of the Republic of Indonesia, also
change the system or a parliamentary representative institutions in Indonesia.
People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) based on the third amendment of the 1945
Constitution, became equal with other state agencies, and only run the people's
sovereignty which is only determined in 1945 Constitution after the change. Thus
there is no expression of the highest state institution that has unlimited power, as
defined in the explanation of the original 1945 Constitution. Based on the things
that have been described, the authors intend to analize what kind of representative
system currently applied in the People's Consultative Assembly after the change
of the 1945 Constitution? The author reviewed the data obtained in this study
through library research, which analyzed by understanding and string up existing
data, and then presented completely to obtain an overview of the investigated
problem's object. The author finds that in Indonesia is currently implementing the
system or the bicameral representative of two rooms that are soft or weak because
of differences about the authority possessed by each representative body that
exists in Indonesia by differentiating power and authority between the people's
representative institutions, where power and authority of the Parliament is
stronger than the regional representative council (DPD).
