Constitutional Interpretation Dynamics in Recent Decisions of the Constitutional Court of Indonesia

The development of constitutional judicial practice in Indonesia shows that the interpretation of the constitution by the Constitutional Court is not static, but experiences dynamics along with changes in the legal, political, and social context. This condition creates an urgency to examine in depth the direction and pattern of constitutional interpretation used by the Constitutional Court in its latest decisions, given its significant implications for the constitutional system and the protection of citizens' constitutional rights. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of constitutional interpretation in the recent Indonesian Constitutional Court decisions, focusing on the interpretation methods used and the form of shifting interpretation approaches that occur. This study uses a normative juridical approach with a case study method of six Constitutional Court decisions, which are collected through a documentary study of the law testing decisions and analyzed qualitatively through content analysis techniques and comparison between decisions. The results of the study show that the Constitutional Court tends to adopt a teleological and progressive interpretation in strategic matters, accompanied by variations in the application of judicial activism and judicial restraint approaches, which reflects shifts and inconsistencies in the interpretation of the constitution in certain contexts. This study concludes that the dynamics of constitutional interpretation by the Constitutional Court contribute to the evolution of constitutional law in Indonesia, while affirming the strategic role of the Constitutional Court in shaping the direction of constitutional practice through the construction of constitutional meaning
