Dynamics of Constitutional Change in Indonesia: Challenges and Solutions in the Modern Era

Aspek Politik dan Hukum, Aspek Sosial dan Ekonomi, Peran Lembaga Negara dan Masyarakat dan Sejarah dan Proses Perubahan Konstitusi

Abstract

The dynamics of constitutional change in Indonesia has become
an increasingly relevant issue in the modern era, amidst demands
for reform, globalization and technological progress. The state
constitution must be able to adapt to rapid socio-political changes
in order to remain relevant to the needs of society. This research
aims to analyze the challenges and solutions in the process of
constitutional change in Indonesia today. The method used in this
research is a normative approach with literature study, which
examines various primary and secondary legal sources related to
constitutional amendments and changes in Indonesia. The findings
show that the main challenges in changing the constitution in
Indonesia include political tensions, resistance from conservative
groups, and amendment procedures that are quite complicated and
require broad consensus. In addition, the rapid development of
information technology and continuously changing social
dynamics are often not reflected in existing constitutional
provisions. The discussion in this research identifies several
solutions, such as the need for more flexible reformulation of
amendment procedures, strengthening public participation in the
change process, and the application of technology to accelerate the
adaptation of the constitution to changing times. In conclusion,
although there are major challenges in changing the constitution in
Indonesia, solutions based on openness, community participation,
and the use of technology can be the key to achieving a more
responsive and progressive constitution in the modern era.
