Embedding Constitutional Principles in the Governance of Pancasila Villages
Abstract
This study examines the integration of constitutional principles into the governance of Pancasila Villages within Indonesia’s constitutional system. Utilizing a normative-juridical approach, the research analyzes statutory provisions, case law, and scholarly literature to explore how Pancasila functions as both an ideological and legal foundation for village administration. The study identifies key challenges in harmonizing local autonomy with constitutional norms and proposes a transformative governance model that operationalizes participatory democracy, accountability, and social justice at the village level. The findings highlight the importance of embedding moral-ethical dimensions alongside legal structures to ensure that village governance aligns with national constitutional principles.
