COMPARATIVE LAW AND CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT: THE CASE OF INDONESIA
Introduction As a result of strong demand for constitutional reform, the Indonesian Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat(the People”s Consultative Assembly, hereafter the PCA)-a supreme sovereign body-amended the nation”s 1945 Constitution for the fourth time since 1999.The whole series of constitutional amendment was due in August 2002.The First Amendment in 1999 was dominated by new articles aimed at strengthening the role of the legislative body and reducing the executive powers.The Second Amendment was ratified on 18 August 2000, and mostly dealt with human rights and the radical change in terms of decentralization.The Third Amendment took place in 2001 and marked the most revolutionary change to the Constitution.It reduced the PCA”s power; established new constitutional bodies; made changes to procedures regulating the election of president and vice president; and introduced a ”bicameral” system.Finally, the Fourth Amendment was passed in August 2002, and mostly dealt with matters on process of constitutional amendment, education, economics and social welfare, as well as the establishment of a Presidential Advisory Board.
