Abstract
Existence of responsibility principle of government is one of balancing factors among the position of government and the people on the exercising of state administration. The government has its authority to regulate, tax picking, enforcing law, apply sanction, and so forth, those are various ”authority” in the process of achieving state goals. Meanwhile, the people have rights to gain law protection against governmental action that may cause disadvantage. This principle provides sufficient space for people participation that is necessary in democratic government. Consistent and consequent implementation of the government responsibility, in turn can increase the prestige of the government and acknowledgment of the people for their government.
