Legal Literacy - The existence of a constitution in the constitutional life of a country is a very fundamental and absolute thing in a country. The idea of constitutionalism in the form of limiting government power regulated in the constitution can guarantee the protection of human rights. Therefore, the dynamics of a country's constitutional system are also very much determined by the dynamics of the history of the country's constitution, because in that constitution one can see the system of government, the form of the state, the system of control between state powers, guarantees of citizens' rights and, most importantly, the division of power between elements of state power holders such as legislative, executive and judicial powers.
To understand the constitutional structure of a country as determined in its constitution, one method that can be used is a comparative approach.
In the concept of Legal Literacy, constitutions and human rights are closely related. Law becomes an important instrument in guaranteeing the protection and enforcement of human rights in a country, especially in the supervision and restriction of public authorities or the state to prevent abuse of power. The existence of a guarantee of protection of human rights is one of the contents contained in almost all constitutions of countries in the world. This can be seen in the content of the constitutions of the State of Indonesia and the State of Russia.
