According to the constitution, there are six organs of
state.
Sovereignty in Indonesia is vested in the people, who
exercise
their will through the People's Consultative Assembly
(MPR). Full
executive authority is vested in the president, who is
elected by
and responsible to the MPR. Legislative power is shared
with the
House of People's Representatives (DPR). The president is
advised
by the Supreme Advisory Council, whereas the State Audit
Board
exercises financial oversight. At the apex of the judicial
system
is the Supreme Court
(see
fig. 10).
