The supremacy of law in the country and guarantee of legal protection for citizens applies in all circumstances. The state is based on law, it is not only assumed that in normal circumstances and conditions of social life and nationalities, but also applies in abnormal conditions. Abnormal state and community life in the terminology of state administration law is known as danger or emergency.

Approach to the discussion is descriptive-qualitative. The meaning of Indonesian state emergency law contains various dimensions, such as aspects of the institutional subject, scope of authority, regional context, and the boundaries of emergency law. The emergency legal provisions of countries are anticipatory to deal with abnormalities or emergencies. The development of state emergency law in the Indonesian legal system is based on the 1945 Constitution, which was revealed in several laws and elaborated further through statutory regulations under the laws.
