Abstract
In this article, we dealt with the parliamentary experience in Jordan, as Jordan is among the leading Arab countries to introduce a parliamentary system, and that has been since 1929.
And the fact that the system is monarchy did not prevent the introduction of the parliamentary system, and the parliament in Jordan is called the National Assembly, and it consists of two chambers: an elected parliament called the parliament and its members are 80 people, and another council called the Senate and its members are 40 members appointed by the king according to specific specifications in the constitution . The Jordanian Parliamentary Foundation has passed from its inception until the year 2000 in two basic stages: - The first extends from 1929 until the year 1984, and at this stage the parliamentary institution did not have any influence on the work of the Jordanian political system, that is, it is an ineffective institution - The second extends from the year 1984 Even today, at this stage the role of Parliament is taking place, as it has been proposing draft laws and amending draft laws referred to it by the executive branch, in addition to activating its role in the field of monitoring the actions of the executive authority. In addition to the above, Jordan has known since the late eighties and the beginning of the nineties shifts towards democracy and multi-partisanship, which made the Jordanian parliament includes representatives from multiple parties, and this diversity has no direct or indirect effect in activating the role of parliament in the second stage.
Key words: Jordan, parliament, role, civil, elections.
