Abstract

This research aimed to explain the impeachment or the dismissal that was done to mara’dia (King) Balanipa’s throne in the kingdom of Balanipa. The method used in this research is the history and philology method. The result of the research showed that since the beginning of the Balanipa kingdom, between the mara’dia Balanipa with the board of ada’ kaiyang (major board) as the Balanipa people’s representative, there was a contract made related to the government (assitalliang) which ruled the rights and obligations between the two sides. Hence, assitalliang was constantly mentioned during the coronation of mara’dia Balanipa. Meaning, everytime a mara’dia was crowned, he ought to read the assitalliang for him and the people of Balanipa to obey. If the mara’dia committed a violation to the assitalliang, especially if the mara’dia was incompetent in doing his duties and responsibilities, then it is clear that the consequence was an impeachment or dismissal to the reigning mara’dia. In the manuscript entitled pattodioloang di Mandar, it was mentioned that the board of ada’ kaiyang Balanipa had impeached a mara’dia as much as 27 times. However, some mara’dia regained their throne after being impeached. According to the notes in the Mandar manuscript, several mara’dia were crowned again after their impeachment, they were (1) Mara’dia Balanipa Tomatindo di Langgana; (2) Mara’dia Balanipa Tomatindo di Limboro, and (3) Mara’dia Balanipa I Mannawari.
