More about Jordan
Politics
According to the constitution of January 8, 1952 (with numerous changes, most recently in 2016), Jordan is a constitutional monarchy, hereditary in the Hashimite dynasty. The Islam is the state religion. The head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces is the king, who has extensive legislative and executive powers. He confirms and promulgates the laws and appoints, among other things. the judge. The Prime Minister and the members of the cabinet are appointed by Parliament in consultation with the King.The bicameral parliament consists of a Senate (65 members appointed by the King for 4 years) and a House of Representatives (130 MPs, elected for 4 years; 27 mandates are for women and ethnic groups and religious minorities, including 15 seats for women).
National symbols
The national flag is horizontally striped in black, white and green with a red triangle on the leech up to the center of the flag, inside a seven-pointed white star. The rays of the star symbolize the seven verses at the beginning of the Quran. The colors stand for the old caliph families: the first successor of Mohammed Abu Bakr and the Umayyads (white), the third caliph Othman and the Abbasids (black), the second caliph Omar I and the ruling royal house of the Hashimites (red), the fourth Caliph Ali Ibn Abi Talib , son-in-law of Muhammad (green).
The coat of arms was designed in 1921 and has been used in this form ever since. The royal crown rests on a red Hashimite sash. The eagle depicted with outspread wings on a blue globe is a symbol of the global rule of Islam. The globe is partially covered by a round golden shield decorated with ornaments, behind which traditional weapons (arrows, bows, swords) and two national flags rise on both sides. Wheat ear and palm branch, which frame the shield, embody fertility and a peaceful disposition. The banner on which the Nahda Order hangs shows the full title of the king in Kufic script.
National holiday: May 25th commemorates the separation of Transjordan from Palestine in 1923 (Independence Day).
