This article examines the role and effectiveness of the Supreme Court (MA) in reviewing the constitutionality of regulations under laws (the right to judicial review of the substance of laws/HUM), focusing on two landmark decisions from 2024 and the Supreme Court’s overall performance data. Supreme Court Decision No. 12/P/HUM/2024, which reviewed Presidential Regulation No. 53 of 2023, and Decision No. 23/P/HUM/2024, which reviewed the age requirements for candidacy for regional head positions, are analyzed in depth from a constitutional law perspective. The study also highlights the Supreme Court’s performance in 2024, during which it received 31,000 cases (a 13.72% increase from 2023), adjudicated 30,763 cases, and achieved a timely resolution rate of 96.52%. This integrated analysis aims to evaluate the extent to which the Supreme Court has effectively carried out its function of overseeing the constitutionality of laws and regulations as a check on power within the Indonesian legal system.
