This idea philosophically emphasizes that state power should not be concentrated in a single organ of power, as this has the potential to give rise to tyranny and abuse of power. In a presidential system of government, the checks and balances mechanism ideally operates through a balanced relationship between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches., but in the practice this relationship is often distorted due to the dominant coalition political configuration.&nbsp; This study formulates two research focuses; what is the nature of the principle of checks and balances ? and how are efforts to strengthen the mechanism of checks and balances through judicial review? This research is a type of normative legal research with several approaches used: the statute approach, the historical approach, the comparative approach, and the conceptual approach. This study found two concluding answers; First, the essence of the checks and balances mechanism in the government system cannot be separated from the conceptual roots of the trias politica doctrine. Second, this study found three main concepts; reconstruction of the institutional design of judicial review,&nbsp; strengthening the Independence of the Constitutional Court, strengthening the binding power and effectiveness of judicial review decisions.</em></p> <p><em>&nbsp;</em></p> Zubdatul Munawwarah Zubda Ach.

Pemerintah telah membentuk Komisi Pengawasan Pupuk dan Pestisida (KP3) sebagai mekanisme koordinasi pengawasan, namun berbagai permasalahan seperti kelangkaan pupuk, ketidaktepatan sasaran, penjualan di atas Harga Eceran Tertinggi (HET), dan penyalahgunaan distribusi masih sering terjadi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kedudukan dan desain kelembagaan KP3 dalam sistem penyelenggaraan pemerintahan serta mengkaji problematika kelembagaan yang memengaruhi efektivitas pengawasan pupuk bersubsidi dalam perspektif Hukum Tata Negara. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan (<em>statute approach</em>), pendekatan konseptual (<em>conceptual approach</em>), dan pendekatan kelembagaan (<em>institutional approach</em>). Bahan hukum diperoleh dari peraturan perundang-undangan, literatur hukum, dan dokumen terkait. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa KP3 lebih tepat dikualifikasikan sebagai forum koordinasi pemerintahan daripada lembaga negara atau <em>state auxiliary organ</em>. Desain kelembagaannya masih menghadapi persoalan berupa ketidakjelasan kedudukan hukum, keterbatasan kewenangan, fragmentasi kelembagaan, dan lemahnya mekanisme akuntabilitas sehingga pelaksanaan pengawasan belum berjalan optimal. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan rekonstruksi kelembagaan melalui penguatan dasar hukum, kewenangan, mekanisme koordinasi, dan sistem akuntabilitas guna mewujudkan pengawasan pupuk bersubsidi yang lebih efektif dalam kerangka penyelenggaraan pemerintahan yang baik.</p> Muhammad Romli Copyright (c) 2026 As-Shahifah : Journal of Constitutional Law and Governance https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-07-20 2026-07-20 6 1 27 58 10.19105/asshahifah.v6i1.25691
