[ABSTRAK
Esensi Demokrasi adalah kebebasan berbicara dan partisipasi masyarakat dalam setiap kebijakan publik. Aspirasi masyarakat sebagai figur sentral demokrasi harus diserap oleh Negara dalam proses pembentukan undang-undang. Karakter responsif pada proses pembentukan undang-undang belum dapat diwujudkan di Indonesia karena partisipasi masyarakat belum dapat dilaksanakan secara maksimal dan lebih dari itu kompromi-kompromi politik masih ada. Lebih dari pada itu, karakter responsif pada proses pembentukan undang-undang tidak hanya bergantung pada konfigurasi politik yang demokratis namun membutuhkan partisipasi masyarakat secara intensif dan luas. Sama seperti undang-undang sebelumnya, yaitu Undang-undang nomor 8 tahun 1985 tentang Organisasi Kemasyarakatan, Undang-undang No.17 tahun 2013 tentang Organisasi Kemasyarakatan masih mempunyai sifat yang represif dan ortodok karena Undang-undang No.17 tahun 2013 tentang Organisasi Kemasyarakatan belum mengedepankan karakter responsif yang menampung dan menyerap aspirasi masyarakat dalam proses pembentukannya walaupun proses pembentukan undang-undang tersebut telah memenuhi standar ketentuan partisipasi masyarakat.ABSTRACT
