The Basic Law for the Year 1928 gave the Transjordan Emirate the constitutional legitimacy to run and manage the affairs of the country. Accordingly, an elections law was established to elect the first Legislative Council. Five Legislative Councils were elected during the period of the Emirate. The first Legislative Council was establish in 1929, and the last on in 1947. It is worth mentioning that the powers of these councils were restricted to approval of draft laws submitted b the Executive Council, without having the right to propose draft laws. The oversight powers over the government’s policy were taken from the Council, who did not have the right to raise a question, interrogation, request discussion, or vote of confidence. The term of the Council was three years which can be expended for two year by the Emir “Prince”.
