corruption. Those New Order’s diseases are still continue up till now, although reformation
has been continued for more than 10 years. In reality the state’s power is not always used to
serve its people. Thus, people has to tightened its control toward state, since when once
loose its control, state’s power will be misused only for the interest of the ruler and at the
same time forget the people who actually is the owner of the state. The state is owned by
people for the common good and that kind of state is named democratic state that its process
of execution must be under people’s control. For that purpose it needed a kind of political
interaction between state-society which is peaceful, secure, fairness and having trust to each
other. That interaction needs appropriate condition, among other things are limited state
power, power division based on check and balance principle, general election, effective
political participation, regional autonomy and reformation of the behavior of society and
