Abstract

The the nearness of the Protected Court (Mahkamah Konstitusi) could be a step towards dodging a majority rule government emergency. However, there is the phenomenon of dynasty politics that poses a threat to the sustainability of democracy, as one family or several families dominate the political stage. This study employs a form of normative legal research. Thus, the Constitutional Court, serving as the protector of democracy, plays a role in ensuring that the the idea of “checks and balances” among government institutions runs smoothly, thereby avoiding overlapping functions, which would otherwise lead to political tension. Considering that the Sacred Court has the specialist to form choices both as a negative lawmaker and a positive administrator, in its capacity as the guard of majority rule government, the Protected Court plays a part in choices that maintain equitable standards as a long-term exertion against line legislative issues. Thus, the Constitutional Court contributes to limiting dynasty politics, as dynasty politics can disrupt the democratic system.
