Summary

INTRODUCTION

Article 1 Paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, which affirms the existence of the highest authority in the hands of the people and its implementation is by the formulation in the Constitution, shows that the people as holders of sovereignty in a State must abide by the things specified in the Constitution. This article will discuss the topic of political party membership in the DPR RI institutions, which is based on the pattern of relations between the people's representatives (DPR) and the people they represent, and their impact in the process of forming and implementing strategic policies that rely on popular sovereignty. The configuration built in the body of the DPR is more of an authoritarian political configuration, resulting in conservative/orthodox legal products, as well as in carrying out other functions of the DPR In this regard, it is very interesting that the membership of political parties in the DPR is analyzed in more depth, especially about its existence as a representative body of the people, which even though it originates from a political party, is "considered a people's representative"
