This study aims to examine the oversight on the constitutionality of laws in Jordan in the light of the relevant constitutional provisions. The doctrinal approach is used in this study, where the primary data were collected through the provisions of the Jordanian Constitution and laws as well as the ruling of the Jordanian constitutional court. The study addresses the importance of the oversight on the constitutionality of laws, the provisions of the Jordanian Constitution relating to the Constitutional Court, and then the decisions and rulings of the constitutional court.The study concluded that the legal and constitutional provisions relating to the Jordanian Constitutional Court, , together with the Court's commitment to formal procedures have negatively affected the Court's role in monitoring the constitutionality of laws and its presumed role in protecting the rights and freedom of Jordanians.
This study aims to examine critically the impact of the electoral system adopted in Jordan on the independence and efficiency of the House of Representatives in carrying out the constitutional functions assigned to it. The historical approach was adopted in this study in addition to the doctrinal approach. The study concludes that the temporary election laws issued by the Government. Which are based on "One Man, One Vote System" have negatively affected the efficiency and independence of the House of Representatives. It has disrupted the activities and role of the political parties, then weakened the House of Representatives, and makes it an easy tool in the hand of the Government. Therefore, the House of Representatives does not achieve its supposed function in the legislation and overseeing the government's actions. The study recommends the adoption of the Open-List System in the parliamentary elections because it is closer to the democratic approach.
