FROM STATE SOVEREIGNTY TO PEOPLE SOVEREIGNTY: A CASE STUDY OF INDONESIA’S CONSTITUTIONAL COURT
The early 1990s, the past two decades have witnessed crucial developments in the constitutional law and the institution in the world, as frequently and generally called a phenomenon of “constitutionalism”, and Indonesia is among such phenomenon. The Indonesian Constitutional Court (Mahkamah Konstitusi, or MK) has been established since the amendment of the 1945 Constitution in 2001 and practically began its role in 2003. Since then, the Indonesian Constitutional Court has taken an active role while dealing with a total of more than 2000 cases, and passing judgments for more than 1000 cases already.

THE CONCEPTION OF PEOPLE'S SOVEREIGNTY IN INDONESIA: MOHAMMAD HATTA'S THOUGHT APPROACH
This study employs a doctrinal legal research method, employing a historical and conceptual approach, mainly focusing on popular sovereignty as articulated by Hatta, one of the nation's founding figures. Sovereignty of the people is a principle embedded in paragraph IV of the preamble to the opening of the 1945 Constitution. However, the concept of popular sovereignty developed in Indonesia diverges from the Western concept outlined by Rousseau. This research is doctrinal legal research using historical and conceptual approaches, mainly focusing on popular sovereignty as articulated by Hatta, one of the nation's founding figures. The findings of this research illustrate that the concept of popular sovereignty in Indonesia must be rooted in indigenous Indonesian cultures and characterized by a collectivist pattern. Here, collectivism is regarded as a means to accommodate the diverse regional characteristics of Indonesian population. Conceptually, the people's sovereignty adopted by the Indonesian state contains five principles grouped into two fundamental principles: the essential principle encompassing freedom and equality and the procedural principle governing the implementation of popular sovereignty, including the principles of majority vote, accountability, and territoriality. The principle of territoriality emerged from one of Hatta's aspirations for popular sovereignty, aiming to mitigate cultural nationalism and foster a bottom-up democracy that embraces the noble values inherent in Indonesian society.
