It has been a general knowledge in the saying that in Indonesia the national legislative body or the House of Representative which primarily formed by the law to become the body representing a sovereign in the democratic Indonesian state who has the legitimate power to make legislations and laws is sometimes has otherwise been considered as ?a den of robbers?. This situation has somehow proofed the truth of the well known maxim of Lord Acton which read that: ?power thends to corrupt, absulute powers corrupt absolutely,? is almost an unchallenged doctrine. In Indonesia, the general assumption in such a saying has primarily been corresponding to the facts that too many members of the legislative body (the Republic of Indonesia?s House of Representative (DPR-RI)) have been convicted by the courts of justice as big-fish curruptors, and rescently even the Speaker of the DPR-RI has been suspected as the one who has been involved with the mega-corruption scandal in the Electronic Card for the People?s Single National Identification Project. People would have argued that one of the causes of this calamity has been the regulations which governing the authoritative power of the members of the legislative branch of government. Some has argued that there has been too little rules to prevent the members of the House in having their involvements with stealing the public money from public purses. This Article examines the possibilities offered in and by the law, using the Dignified Justice Perspective (theory) in reconstructing laws and regulations governing the use of power by the members of the House in order to eradicate or perhaps preventing corruption by the legislative members as a whole in the Pancasila Legal System.
