Indonesias Government Structure

a. Government Types
There are 16 government types in this world but, were going to be
explaining only 2 government types. Monarchy, Democracy, Federation,
Communism. The first one is Democracy. Democracy is a government whose
authority is based on the peoples votes. An example of a country that uses
democracy is Indonesia the peoples votes are based from elections and
nominations for officials. Where Monarchy is a government where the leader is
royalty and based on heredity and the people have no political power.

In monarchy there are 2 types, first there is Monarchy absolute. The

Monarchy absolute is where the head of the state has the strongest right and can
make the decision making and law making by their authority. The second one is
the Monarchy Constitute, where the head of state does not have anything to do
with the law and decision making, they can only take car their heredity and they
have the authority to help the government. Next is Federation. Federation is a
political government that has a union of small states that are self- governed which
is united by a central government. An example of a country that uses federation
is the USA. The last one is Communism. a system of government in which the
state plans and controls the economy and a single party holds power; state
controls are imposed with the elimination of private ownership of property or
capital while claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all
goods are equally shared by the people.

b. Indonesias Government Structure

Indonesia has a unique government system, its a mix of republic,

democracy and Pancasila (Pancasila is the basis for the Indonesian state
ideology). Indonesias power lies in the people, pancasila and the UUD 1945.
UUD 1945 is the Constitution of Indonesia (Indonesian: Undang-Undang Dasar
Republik Indonesia 1945, UUD '45) is the basis for the government of Indonesia.

(shintahappyyustiari.lecture.ub.ac.id)
Indonesias government is divided by 3, Legislatif, Executive, and Yudikatif. In
Legislative there is the MPR leading (People Consultative Assembly), and DPR
( people representative council) and DPD ( Regional Representative Council in
the bottom. Then we have the Executives, which consist of the president him or
herself and the vice president. Finally, Yudikatif, in yudikatif we have MK
(constitutional court), MA (supreme court) and KY (Judicial commission). The
leading point of this structure is the UUD 1945.

c. Compare and Contrast

The problem that we chose for this research is corruption in Indonesia because
Indonesia is one of the top countries that has the most corruption issues.
According to our research Denmark is the top country that has the lowest
corruption in their country.

Denmark is a country that has the least corruptors in their country, and according
to research what they do. Denmark is a very transparent country which means
they are very open with their people and they share updates and information
about what the government is spending on and others. In Denmark they have
made a solution to raise the people who work in the governments salary so that
they dont corrupt the government. This solution has been proven effective since
Denmark is in 1st place for least corrupted countries.

d. Analysis

By researching we found out that Indonesia does nor have to change the
government type, however Indonesias government does have to do some minor
changes; giving more transparency towards the people and the people need to
be aware of how corruption can be very dangerous for their lives, and not only
the people but the people working in the government also have to be aware of
corruptions. Doing this will help Indonesia reduce corruption, have better
economy, politics and a better government.

Improving Indonesias government is a good thing because again, this solution

will help Indonesia reduce its well-known problem, corruption. For many years,
corruption had been a problem for many families in Indonesia until now.
Indonesia needs to improve their government, otherwise our citizens will end up
in the streets with no homes and this will also effect the next generation, our
future leaders.
