However, the phenomenon rarely happens, consistently increasing the number of single candidates in the local election. This research aims to analyze whether this political phenomenon alerts democracy decadency or a typical circumstance in a democratic state. The method used in this research is doctrinal legal research. The result shows several reasons the single candidate consistently increases from event-to-event sort of an epidemic virus that could spread across the province. Some factors supporting the rise of the single-candidate phenomenon, for instance, the local parliamentary threshold of proposing the candidate, public distrust to the political parties, disfunction of a political party to giving a political education for its members and constituents, and the political parties tend to avoid the political risks of losing (incumbent).

Two of Indonesian Constitutional Court Judges have been arrested due to the bribery case. The bribery case which involved the Chairman of Justice of the Constitutional Court has become a reason to provide the new Law regarding the Judicial Commission. Even the Constitutional Court arguing that the supervision of the Judicial Commission is not constitutional based on two legal reasoning. The supervision of the Judicial Commission for Constitutional Judges is arguably unconstitutional. But on the contrary, Supreme Judges and Judges of the lower courts become the object of supervision of the Judicial Commission. This article concludes that keeping the honour of the Constitutional Court requires an external supervision. Judicial Commission can be functionalized as an external supervision, such as practiced in Consiglio Superiore della Magistratura, Italy and Conseil Superieur de La Magistrature, French. Both have authority to the giving consideration in the appointment of judges and disciplinary judges and supervision.

Ketiga jenis ilmu hukum di atas, sama-sama berobyekkan Negara. Sebelum mengetahui perbedaan hubungan antara ketiga ilmu di atas, akan dikemukakan terlebih dahulu pengertian Negara menurut beberapa ahli hukum tata Negara. Menurut Roger dan Soultau, Negara adalah alat (agency) atau wewenang (authority) yang mengatur atau mengendalikan persoalan-persoalan bersama atas nama masyarakat. Sedangkan menurut Max Weber, Negara adalah suatu masyarakat yang mempunyai monopoli dalam penggunaan kekerasan fisik secara sah dalam suatu wilayah.

One of democratic responses to the evil of the majority is the emergence of the concept of constitutional democracy. The tyranny of majority against the rights of the minority is warded off by constitutional safeguards enforced primarily by the court. This is one of the reasons why Malaysia and Indonesia adopt the doctrine of constitutional supremacy when they achieved independence in 1957 and in 1945 respectively. In spite of close proximity in terms of territory and sharing cultural and historical heritages the two countries have fundamental structural constitutional differences. This paper aims at comparing constitutional adjudication as one of the mechanisms of constitutional democracy in both countries. The establishment of the Indonesian Constitutional Court in 2003, and the functions of the superior courts in Malaysia are p...
