When Ethical Principles and Legal Requirements Collide: Constitutional Diversity Perspective
Vol.2(2); Pages:1-8. Published on November 2025
Abstract
The article is a critical study of the interaction of state law and moral diversity with a case study of the Halal Product Assurance Law (Halal Act) of Indonesia. This is a distinctive case, in which constitutional requirements and religious doctrines and pluralistic social community values cross. The Halal Act in effect brushes up against the core nature of a law that balances morality with religion in a modern constitutional democracy and in effect challenges religious freedom in Indonesia as well as the issue of constitutional neutrality. This paper explores the issue of the Halal Act through legal analysis, constitutional interpretation, and sociopolitical contextualization and the author believes that the enactment of the Halal Act challenges compliance to religious freedom in the Indonesian state as well as the notion of constitutional neutrality. It highlights the way in which the law may discriminate the non-Muslim minorities, the secular communities and even the divergent interpretations in the Islamic domain as well. In the context of the constitutional pluralism framework, the study is an attempt to point out that regulation by law must contend with the complex challenges of meeting various normative orders without undermining the fundamental value of inclusion and equality of democratic practices. The paper also balances how research findings reflect on the relevance of the same in Southeast Asia in general and other multicultural countries where such issues are also a source of contention between religious laws and the rule of law. It ends up by suggesting a more consultative process of law making that embraces the plurality of law and moral ecosystem of Indonesia without interfering with the integrity of the constitution and human rights.

Interplay of Legal Norms and Ethical Principles: A Philosophical Perspective
Vol.2(2); Pages:9-16. Published on November 2025
Abstract
A philosophical question with great depth and an important concern is the nature of the relation between law and morality in terms of authority, justice, obligation, and conscience. This document discusses the complex relationship between legal norm, namely, a formal, written rule imposed by the state machinery, and morals or ethical principles formed in the theory of moral, cultural tradition, and conscience. Based on the classical and contemporary legal traditions, such as a natural law tradition, legal positivism, and critical legal studies, the paper questions whether the law should be moral or be above the moral. It deals with the main cases of judgments, ethical issues in the parliamentary legal system and changing cultural values that have an influence on the lawmaking. The study explores the possibility of the law preserving and vitiating moral values by comparing the case studies of different legal jurisdictions and philosophical writings and identifies the conflicts and inconsistencies as well as complement-abilities of laws and morality as deployed in different legal systems. Other contemporary issues like bioethics, social justice, and human rights have also been addressed with the study since moral reasoning in these cases sometimes supersedes what the law may not allow. The conclusion to be made in this paper is that it is imperative that a philosophical discourse should be maintained continuously to see to it that legal frameworks do not just expect compliance but also instil moral accountability and social integrity.

Light of conflicting constitutional norms, the Hong Kong protests are being reframed as a challenge to governmental legitimacy
Vol.2(2); Pages:17-24. Published on November 2025
Abstract
This paper examines the case of the 2019 protests in Hong Kong in terms of the conflict over political legitimacy and disaggregating supreme constitutional ideals. Instead of explaining the protests as mere reactions to a policy or governance practice, the study frames them as expressive action, which threatens the integrity of Hong Kong constitutional arrangements. It states that state actors as well as citizens used competing discourses of democratic power this leads to stark ideological conflict in the legal and political fabric of the territory. The analysis of official discourses, symbolism of protest, and popular emotions featured on the paper demonstrates the role of competing views of autonomy and democracy in bringing about a constitutional identity crisis.

The Critical Need to Formulate Procedural Norms for Constitutional Court Operations
Vol.2(2); Pages:25-33. Published on November 2025
Abstract
Constitutional Court can initially operate with efficacy under the conditions that its jurisdiction is determined by its treatment of the procedural rules of its proper activity. The lack of a specific follow-up law has also resulted in gaps and inefficiencies in different jurisdictions, in delays of justice and even in doubt as to the validity of the judges. To this end, this paper conveys the acute need to codify procedural rules, which are specific to Constitutional Courts within the parameters of transparency, efficiency and consistency of constitutional adjudication. It cogitates with comparative models, makes the practical implications clear and recommends adoption of a formal procedural code as an emergency to the reinforcement of constitutional democracy and maintenance of the rule of law.

Judicial Autonomy Amid the Clash Between National Constitutional Supremacy and European Union Legal Primacy
Vol.2(2); Pages:34-41. Published on November 2025
Abstract
The present paper addresses the intricate dynamics of the independence of the judiciary between two dominant legal systems namely national constitutional law and the European Union (EU) law. It examines the method in which the concept of judicial autonomy occurs when the courts find themselves straddled between the supremacy of local constitutional structures and the force of law of the EU laws. The compiled literature evaluates the central case law of both national constitutional courts and that of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). This paper reviews competition and collaboration in the hierarchical legal framework. It also evaluates the consequences of the rule of law, certainty in the law and democratic governance in the EU member state. The results posit that there is a need to trade off between the judicial independence of justice and the vertical nature of European legal authority.
