Therefore, support from various parties is needed so that inclusive education at SLBN 1 Central Lombok runs optimally and sustainably.

Ambiguitas Konstitusional dalam Fungsi Legislasi Presiden dan DPR di Indonesia

2026-02-04T08:22:33+00:00

The Indonesian system of government has evolved significantly through constitutional amendments which aimed at strengthening the presidential system. However, overlapping authority between the President and the House of Representatives (DPR) in the lawmaking process continues to generate constitutional ambiguity, particularly regarding the separation of powers. This study examines the balance of legislative authority between the President and the House of Representatives under the 1945 Constitution using a normative juridical method with a historical approach, analyzed through Montesquieu’s theory of the separation of powers. The analysis reveals that Article 5 paragraph (1) and Article 20 paragraphs (1) and (2) contribute to overlapping legislative functions between the two institutions. To address this issue, the study proposes limiting the President’s legislative initiative, strengthening checks and balances through the DPR and public participation, and reinforcing the role of the Constitutional Court as a constitutional guardian. These measures are expected to enhance constitutional clarity and strengthen Indonesia’s presidential system in accordance with democratic principles.

Empathy is an important character value that needs to be developed in students as part of personality formation and social responsibility. However, learning in higher education still tends to emphasize the cognitive aspect and does not provide enough space for strengthening the affective aspect, especially empathy. This study aims to describe the process and results of strengthening students' empathy values through the implementation of project-based learning. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods implemented for 6 months (1 semester). The subjects of the study were students of the Pancasila and Citizenship Education Study Program at Padang State University who participated in project-based learning with the theme of social sensitivity in society through real actions in the Values and Moral Education course. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis used data reduction techniques, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that project-based learning is able to strengthen students' empathy values, as seen from increased social sensitivity, the ability to understand others' perspectives, and a caring attitude towards community problems through real actions. These findings confirm that project-based learning is effectively used as a learning strategy to strengthen students' empathy values in higher education.
