Study of Legal History: Traces of Setting Crimes Against the President in the Criminal Code

Abstract

The regulation of crimes against state security in Chapter I Book II of the Criminal Code (KUHP), especially regarding crimes against the president (and or vice president) has undergone various interpretation efforts related to its meaning and urgency; hence it is necessary to use a legal history approach. Study the law to understand whether or not the regulations regarding crimes against the president (and or vice president) are relevant in the reform era. This normative juridical research examines the history of the regulation of crimes against the president (and or vice president) in Indonesia, using primary legal materials in the form of the Criminal Code contained in Law (UU) No. 1/1946 in conjunction with Law No. 73/1958 and secondary legal materials in the form of various literature related to the problems studied. By using a statutory approach and a historical approach, an assessment of the legal issues is carried out using the prescriptive analysis method and the content analysis method.
