Abstract
Law Number 6 of 2014 about Villages states that the purpose of village regulation is to create an independent village. As an effort to achieve this goal, village management in Indonesia is carried out using a self-governing community system that requires apparatus that has good capacity. On the other hand, the existence of village officials in Indonesia still does not have the capacity needed to organize the government to become an independent village. Therefore, it is necessary to do a legal political reconstruction to find a solution to the inequality of expectations of village regulation and the reality of the quality of village officials like this. Political law functions as a bridge to the goals to be achieved and is strongly influenced by the social reality of society. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach with the type of library research by reviewing data related to villages in Indonesia, especially village government. The results of this study revealed that only 5,606 (7.43%) were independent villages. This of course requires a solution through a series of solution policies so that the objectives of village regulation towards independent villages can be achieved so that the prosperous community can be achieved.
