Reactualization of Adat law in the establishment of legislations

Abstract

When it comes to establishing laws and regulations, we need to remember the Adat law that has existed and is used in everyday society. The development of Adat law exists and applies in society, but sometimes its validity is ignored and tends to be ignored as a law that should continue to live and be a guide even as a spirit in the formation of national law. Tailoring laws and regulations in accordance with cultural values and the nation's culture needs to get serious attention. In addition to enriching the treasures of the nation's cultural development, it can also be used as a distinguishing value from values that have always been used as references, namely the applicable law in Indonesia. In other countries, it tends to be enforced in Indonesia. The search for Adat law that applies in Indonesia to be used as the foundation for the establishment of laws within a country is very crucial amid the decline in the adoption of the nation's cultural values so that Adat law can be used as a reflection in the formation of law both at both the national and local levels in Indonesia. This writing uses a sociological normative writing method, which will describe the position and position of the Adat Constitution in the Indonesian legal system. So, it is hoped that through writing this journal, it is hoped that it will provide an understanding of how important the position of the Adat Constitution is in legal development in the modern era. With the actualization of Adat law in the formation of law, it is hoped that the wealth of the nation's noble values can be cultivated and maintained as part of the nation's wealth so that our children and grandchildren will maintain it as part of the cultural and cultural wealth of the Indonesian nation. This study expects that Adat law will remain a guiding principle in all aspects of Indonesia's national and state affairs.
