Demonstrations demanding the dissolution of the House of Representatives by 2025 highlight a crisis of public trust and serve as a key moment in Indonesia's political landscape. These protests have not only symbolic significance but also lead to elite repositioning, the temporary dismissal of several members, and the cessation of policy that increased benefits. This study examines how the crisis has prompted political institutional reconstruction and the role of civil society in influencing change. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, including literature studies, analysis of academic literature, official documents, and media reports. The findings indicate that actions by the House of Representatives, such as the rotation of Commission III leadership, member deactivation, and rejection of benefit increases, were primarily reactive to public pressure. The discussion reveals that while these actions reduce crisis escalation, they are cosmetic and do not address structural issues like legislative accountability and budget transparency. In conclusion, the 2025 protests provide an opportunity for civil society to engage politically outside elections, but the institutional changes made are short-term. Fundamental reform can only occur if civil movements remain consistent and if political parties and the government commit to reform.

Public information disclosure is a manifestation of open and accountable government which is the basis for publik information requests. Everyone has the right to obtain public information through the mechanism of requesting information from public bodies. The problem that arises is that some information requessts are not made in good faith thereby failing to reflect the purpose of public information disclosure as a means of monitoring government performance. To adress this issue there is a mechanism to terminate the resolution of such information disputes in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of terminating informastion disputes that are not conducted in good faith and the obstacles in its implementation. The results of the study indicate that the termination of informastion disputes that are not conducted in good faith is not yet effective due to factors that influence the effectiveness of the law in society not being fulfilled including legal factors, societal factors, and cultural factors. The obstacles faced in the implementation of the termination of public information disputes that are not conducted in good faith include legal enforcement mechanism, public information management, and understanding of public information transparency. The effectiveness of a law is determined by the overall elements supporting its enforcement so it is hoped that the implementation of the termination of publik information disputes does not violate human rights and citizens’ rights.

This study analyzes the comparison of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending contract law in the perspective of positive law and Islamic law. Major problems in the industry include the risk of default, contract defects, and a lack of transparency. The research method used is literature research. The results show that positive laws provide a framework for consumer protection, but are often inadequate in protecting vulnerable parties. On the other hand, Islamic law emphasizes justice and the prohibition of usury, although the practice in the field is not yet fully appropriate. The study recommends collaboration between regulators and service providers to create a fair and law-abiding system. This is expected to contribute to the development of P2P lending policies and practices that are more sustainable and in accordance with sharia principles.
