Abstract

The right of interpellation is one of the rights of the House of Representatives that aims to control the course of government. In various laws and regulations, the provisions related to the right of interpellation of the House of Representatives are actually unclear, causing legal uncertainty. This research is a normative legal research by putting forward the approach, conceptual, historical, and legislation. The results confirm that the authority of the House of Representatives in exercising the right of interpellation is the realm of political supervision. The effectiveness of the right of interpellation will also be determined by the choice of government system adopted by a country. In a country that adopts a parliamentary system, the right of interpellation will be very effective to be used by the parliament. If the right of interpellation is used by parliament, it can lead to a parliamentary vote of no confidence in the cabinet and can result in the dissolution of the cabinet. The implications of the use of the right of interpellation are determined by the legal politics adopted and implemented by a country. The legal politics of the right of interpellation prior to the enactment of the 1945 Constitution as amended was primarily to oversee the implementation of the state direction that had been determined by the People's Consultative Assembly. Meanwhile, the legal politics of the right of interpellation after the enactment of the 1945 Constitution as amended is to oversee the implementation of Government policy in order to realise a democratic rule of law.
