Furthermore Fadlil Court explained that unlike the Supreme Court (MA). If MA has branches in the area, the Court only held in Jakarta alone. Because of that MA has two levels of justice, ie justice of first instance and appellate level, while the Court is the court of first and last.

Still different from the Supreme Court, the Court has the authority to regulate the country with citizens, between state institutions, upholding the principle of democratic state of law, and upholding constitutionalism. The authority was embodied in the Constitutional Court the authority to test the laws against the 1945 Constitution, to decide disputes of authority between state institutions, to decide the dissolution of political parties, and decide upon disputes on general election results.

Before there was MK, continued Fadlil, the 1945 Act and enforced only through apolitical mechanism. The only important political power is regardless of the enforcement of justice and truth. "Political mechanism make people has power for seven years or for life. That may be because no one enforcing the constitution. Therefore the Court has the authority to uphold the constitution, "lid Fadlil. (Yusti Nurul Agustin / mh/Yazid.tr)
