ABSTRACT
The Constitution of Jordan is drawn up in Arabic, a language excellently suited to express many subtle philosophical ideas but not entirely appropriate for the expression of exact legal definitions. The Constitution is divided into nine sections. The first deals with government and the form of regime; the second, the rights and duties of the Jordanian people; the third, the powers of the state; the fourth, the executive power; the fifth, the legislative power; the sixth, the judiciary; the seventh deals with finance; the eighth with miscellaneous provisions, and, finally, the ninth section deals with repeal of laws. As all sections of the Jordanian public reach complete maturity, democracy will be more finally established in Jordan and, as a result, the Jordan Government and the King will be rewarded for the danger, the difficulties, and the hard work of the last ten years, dedicated to the making of the nation.
