The results of this study indicate that political parties as public legal entities are present in all aspects of government and have an important contribution in determining the direction of constitutional development in Indonesia. Ratification of the Articles of association and by-laws of Political Parties based on a Ministerial Decree and announced in the State Gazette of the Republic of Indonesia. In this case, the Statutes and bylaws of a political party are statutory regulations under laws and Ministerial Decrees. The Supreme Court must carry out its supervisory function, including testing the Statutes and bylaws of political parties that are in conflict with the Law on Political Parties.
