Not super dry, but very informative. Wonderful compared to some of the other law textbooks I've used.

buku ini tidak sedikitpun membahas konstitusi NKRI tapi berhasil draw my very attention to try to finish it and even more to browse through all the related documents

sayangnya mungkin karena ini memang buku kuliah jadi disajikan sangat text book style tanpa additional review of the subject it self dari pengarangnya.

karena pada akhirnya gw blm berhasil menyimpulkan konstitusi yg ideal itu seperti apa siy...???

dengan buku ini gw bener2 berharap bisa menemukan identitas konstitusi NKRI. Dengan mencoba untuk tidak larut dalam konsep tata negara yg dianut eropa gw berusaha merujuk tiap topik dengan apa yg dimiliki Indonesia. bingung gw karena ga tau harus kesel, sedih or justru bersukur dengan segala keunikan yg di tawarkan NKRI...
