The Indonesian parliament, the DPR, today presents its similar characteristics as the Dutch parliament in the 19th
century. The historical trajectories show that when establishing the core of the parliament institution, the founding fathers
copied what the colonial government had been practiced, and maintained during the authoritarian regime in Indonesia,
accordingly the Dutch legacy lingered. Consequently, in the wave of democratic era, after the fall of the authoritarian
president, the same institution should have adapted itself into a more democratic institution, but remained weak due
to its outdated characteristics. This paper shows the historical aspects of the DPR and the lingered Dutch legacy to
understand the DPR’s tradition. This paper concludes that the Indonesian parliament, DPR, is regarded more as a
legislative body, instead as a parliament and a deliberative assembly.
