Paying Attention to Privileges: Comparison of the Special Laws of Yogyakarta and Aceh from a Legal and Constitutional Perspective

Abstract

<em>This research aims to take an in-depth approach to examine the comparison between the implementation of the Yogyakarta and Aceh Special Laws from a Legal and Constitutional Perspective. The main focus is on implementing the two laws and how the unique aspects contained therein are reflected in practice. The research method used is comparative law as the primary basis, focusing on the Special Laws of Yogyakarta and Aceh in the Legal and Constitutional Perspective. Research data was obtained through a comprehensive literature study and analysis of relevant legal documents, including the texts of laws, government regulations and court decisions relating to the two provinces. After collecting the data, an analytical approach uses the legal and constitutional framework as a guide. The research results show that this comparison involves research into the history of the formation and legislative background of the Special Laws, the particular scope provided, and the implementation mechanisms stipulated by the two laws. Through this approach, this article provides a deeper understanding of the dynamics of law and regional autonomy in Indonesia, as well as the contribution of these two legal instruments in supporting local identity and wisdom within the framework of a unitary state.</em>
