1928 Constitution of Transjordan

The 1928 Constitution of Transjordan established a formal government framework, combining traditional leadership with modern political structures. It created a constitutional monarchy where the Emir (ruler) had significant authority, while also setting up a legislative council to advise on laws. The constitution aimed to balance traditional Bedouin practices with efforts toward a functioning administrative state, providing guidelines for governance, legal processes, and citizen rights. It marked a step towards modern statehood under British supervision, laying the foundation for Transjordan's political development and independence in the following decades.
