Abstract

This paper discusses freedom of expression and freedom of the press which are part of the life of a democratic society in Indonesia. This freedom is guaranteed in the Indonesian constitution. The focus of this paper is on analyzing the urgency of freedom of expression and freedom of the press and the rule of law. This freedom is important as a form of fulfilling the government’s commitment to society. If people do not have the freedom to express their opinions and are unable to express their views freely, then they do not have the right to participate effectively in public policymaking. This writing uses a qualitative approach to find out firsthand how freedom of expression is currently being implemented. This research will be structured using normative juridical research, namely research that is focused on examining the application of rules or norms in positive law. The author uses a literature study (Library Research), by referring to books, journals, or articles in the data collection process. A democratic state with people’s sovereignty is also something that opens up opportunities for the people to participate directly or only oversee the running of the government. Democracy provides the opportunity for everyone to enjoy the freedoms they have proportionally because one person’s freedom is limited by the freedom of others. Freedom of expression is an important element in the course of democracy and public participation.
