Abstract

The adoption of government regulations instead of law number 2 of 2017 instead of law number 17 of 2013 concerning community organizations certainly creates a lot of polemic in society. The controversy gave rise to the pros and cons of the law. The community feels freedom in organizing is castrated, while on the other hand, some people agree with the new law and this has an impact on society. The result in society is an unusual social symptom to study, considering that there are so many forms of community organizations in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. The number of kinds of community organizations, the government feels that a new regulation is needed, namely perppu number 2 of 2017 instead of law number 17 of 2013 concerning community organizations that have passed into law. With the enactment of Perppu number 2 of 2017 into law, there have been many turmoils in the community in responding to this matter, starting from those who agree and those who do not conform to the promulgation of the Perppu, but the impact in the community is not significant because the organizations legally dissolved they are illegal, they still run religious activities as they should by not violating applicable laws.
