Kewenangan Mahkamah Konstitusi Republik Indonesia Untuk Melakukan Pengujian Peraturan Pemerintah Pengganti Undang-Undang (Studi Kasus Pengujian Perppu Nomor 1 Tahun 2013), Aditya Ilmam Perdhana

"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI

The Constitutional Court has the authority as stipulated in the Constitution of 1945, one of which is to examine the Law against the Basic Law. In the statutory regulatory system in Indonesia there is a statutory regulation that has the same position and hierarchy as the Law, namely the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law or commonly known as Perppu. The Perppu is a legal product issued by the President on the basis that the state is in a precarious state of force and the Perppu must then be submitted to the House of Representatives (DPR) for later to be …

Pengaruh Hubungan Kekuasaan Antara Pusat Dan Daerah Terhadap Kewenangan Perizinan Pertambangan Mineral Dan Batubara, Adamy Nurdin

"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI

The dynamics of regulating the authority of mineral and coal mining licenses between the center goverment and the regions goverment has led to less positive conditions for investment in mining. The latest regulation on regional government is regulated in Law Number 23 of 2014, drawing back the implementation of forestry, maritime affairs, as well as energy and mineral resources from the district/city government to the central government and the province government. This means that the regency/city government is no longer given authority in all matters relating to forestry, marine affairs, as well as energy and mineral resources. That the passage …

"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI

The Indonesian economy has a backbone in the banking sector to drive the wheels of the national economy through its vital function as a financial intermediary. Indonesian banking is held based on economic democracy with the principle of prudence. However, since the 1998 global economic crisis and the impact of globalization which has affected Indonesia, there have been policy changes including regulatory changes in the Indonesian economic sector. This change is also included in the banking sector, where the flow of liberalization is getting stronger. Before the crisis, foreigners who want to invest in banking can buy a bank's shares …

The Fourteenth Amendment And The Heart Of The Constitution, Guy Chet

SLU Law Journal Online

Since the nineteenth century, Americans have worked consistently to liberate their national government from the Constitutional constraints placed on it by Madison and his colleagues. This effort has transformed the United States from a federated republic in which local communities governed themselves into a modern managerial nation-state that is governed from the center. In this article, Dr. Guy Chet argues that the key to this transformation – of the Constitution and of the United States – was the Fourteenth Amendment.

Evaluating Emergency Takings: Flattening The Economic Curve, Robert H. Thomas

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

Desperate times may breed desperate measures, but when do desperate measures undertaken as a response to an emergency trigger the Fifth Amendment’s requirement that the government provides just compensation when it takes private property for public use? The answer to that question has commonly been posed as a choice between the “police power”—a sovereign government’s power to regulate property’s use in order to further the public health, safety, and welfare—and the eminent domain power, the authority to seize private property for public use with the corresponding requirement to pay compensation. But that should not be the question. After all, emergencies …

Fixing False Truths: Rethinking Truth Assumptions And Free-Expression Rationales In The Networked Era, Jared Schroeder

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

The First Amendment makes no mention of truth. Assumptions about truth, however, have become the foundations for free-expression rationales, the very bases for such freedoms in a democratic society. The Supreme Court gradually, over time, wedded Enlightenment assumptions about truth to the marketplace of ideas rationale for free expression. This Article examines, in light of massive, widespread adoption of networked technologies and AI and Supreme Court decisions that have undermined the distinctive role of truth, whether truth should be removed or replaced as a crucial, justifying concept in freedom of expression. The Article examines the marketplace approach’s history and assumptions, …

No Aid, No Agency, Steven K. Green

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

Over the past three decades, members of the Supreme Court have demonstrated increasing hostility to the Establishment Clause’s rule against funding religion, first enunciated in 1947. Over the years, the Court has not only narrowed the rule to allow for government aid to flow to religious schools and faith-based charities, it has more recently declared that to enforce that rule may amount to discrimination against religion. This Article argues that a key reason for the decline in the no-aid principle rests on the weakness of the rationale underlying that rule: that funding of religion coerces the conscience of taxpayers. The …

American Punishment And Pandemic, Danielle C. Jefferis

Faculty Scholarship

Many of the sites of the worst outbreaks of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) are America’s prisons and jails. As of March 2021, the virus has infected hundreds of thousands of incarcerated people and well over two thousand have died as a result contracting the disease caused by the virus. Prisons and jails have been on perpetual lockdowns since the onset of the pandemic, with family visits suspended and some facilities resorting to solitary confinement to mitigate the virus’s spread, thereby exacerbating the punitiveness and harmfulness of incarceration. With the majority of the 2.3 million people incarcerated …
