Abstract
This research is a critical study for Jordanian parliamentary evolution and its impact
on political reform in Jordan. We hypothesize a significant correlation between
parliamentary development and democratization in Jordan. The study found that the
Parliamentary institution, which represents the core of democracy in Jordan, is weak and
lacking the ability to perform its main political duties. Researchers concluded that
democracy in Jordan is in a status of stagnation. Since its formation in 1929 until 2019,
parliament’s political power within the Jordanian political system remains substantially
ineffective. The Executive Branch of government possess far more political power than
the Legislative Branch of government. This fact that our research found negatively
affects the credibility of the whole Jordanian political reform rhetoric. We use the
descriptive analytical historic approach and content analysis of the legal provisions that
govern the parliamentary development in Jordan.
