DYNASTIC POLITICAL TRADITION IN CONSTITUTION

Abstract

The politics of the dynasty actually experienced ups and downs in the pros and cons in society. Previously there were no rules governing dynastic politics. The birth of Law Number 8 year 2015 concerning the Election of Regional Heads was made as a law governing the dynastic ban. But the prohibition related to dynastic politics was later canceled by the Constitutional Court. The decision of the Constitutional Court is considered as part of the omission of dynastic politics. After the decision of the Constitutional Court overturned Article 7 letter (r) of Law Number 8 year 2015 concerning Election of the Regional Head, it has consequences. The consequence meant is dynastic politics which is constitutional and this cannot be denied. This means that the existence of political dynasties is not prohibited by legislation. Besides, dynastic politics also do not conflict with Human Rights.
