Constitutional Court Decision Number 91/PUU-XVIII/2020 concerning the formal testing of Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation, brings an expansion of the meaning of public participation. The decision states that public participation in the formation of laws needs to be carried out in a meaningful manner (meaningful participation). The goal is to create real community participation and involvement, which so far has only been procedural. Community participation is of course intended so that ideas for the formation of laws do not always have to emerge from the political elite alone. Doctrinal legal research method with secondary data base. Combining the methods of deliberative democracy and meaningful participation in the formation of the Act is needed so that public discourse is created: everything that concerns the lives of many people (the Act) is not only the domain of the government (DPR, DPD and President) but also involves the community with equal position. One of the innovations that must be done is the maximum use of Information Technology. Thus, the Act that is formed is not only procedurally valid but also substantively correct. So that the law that is born is a law that has high value and validity which will ultimately provide benefits not only in the formation of the law but further as a means to lead to the development of a national legal system.
