Abstract

The People's Consultative Assembly is a representative institution in the democratic country of Indonesia. The People's Consultative Assembly in accordance with the 1945 Constitution result of Amendment I of 2000 consists of members of the People's Representatives Council and Members of the Regional Representative Council. There has been a significant change in the membership sitting in the representative body of the people between before the reform order and thereafter. In the pre-reform era, the representative body of the people consisted of members of the House of Representatives plus regional representatives and groups appointed by the President, in accordance with the political interests of the New Order. After the order of reform of this institution, its members are all elected through general elections, as representatives of political parties and representatives of each province. Since then the Indonesian Representative Body has adopted a bicameral system as it exists in the United States. In the United States, the House of Representatives is a Congress consisting of Senates representing the interests of the state and the House of Representatives representing the interests of political parties. The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences between the Senate and the local parliaments together as one of the pillars of representative institutions of the people in the democracies of the United States and Indonesia. There are many differences between Senate and regional councils in Indonesia, both in terms of length of tenure and most urgent are about very different authorities even though they are both the pillars of the people's representative institution.
