KRISIS SISTEM LEGISLASI INDONESIA MENURUT ETIKA DISKURSUS JURGEN HABERMAS

Abstract

The factual symptoms show that the fluctuating state of public trust and the sub-systems
of social life do not work in balance and harmony with what the public wants because the world
of people's lives is shrinking in the face of power and the power of the money system. When
the active participation of the people is removed from the decision-making arena and directly
taken over by the control of power, the people, who are in fact the holders of sovereignty, are
only justified in claiming decisions in the name of democracy. This phenomenon is clearly seen
in the legislative process in Indonesia.
We can never forget that, in the last 5 (five) years alone, there have been many "injuries"
in the minds of the people due to haphazard and annoying legislative processes, for example,
the Job Creation Law, the Revised KPK Law, the Revised General Election Law, the Revision
to the Regional Head Election Law, the Law on the Formation of Three New Provinces in
Papua, the Revision to the State Financial Policy Law, the Law on Sexual Violence, the Law
on Community Organizations, the revision to the Constitutional Court Law, and many others.
Departing from the description of the problem above, this must be radically reformed in order
to avoid the destruction of the Indonesian legislative system. So, it is necessary to conduct
research using a normative approach and analyze it qualitatively. The theoretical framework
employs Jurgen Habermas' theory of discourse ethics as an analytical tool for delivering writing
on solutions to problems with conclusions that lead to legislation with a foundation in people's
legitimacy.
