The People's Representative Council, known as Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (DPR) in Indonesia, is the lower house of the country's legislative body. It consists of members elected by the public to represent their interests and make laws. The council plays a crucial role in shaping national policies and overseeing the government. Members of the DPR serve five-year terms and are responsible for discussing and approving legislation, including the national budget. The council also has the authority to monitor the executive branch, ensuring that the government operates transparently and effectively in serving the people.
