What is the standard constitutional term of the elected Jordanian House of Representatives (Majlis al-Nuwwab), subject to royal dissolution or extension?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Four solar years

  1. Step 1: Article 68 of the Constitution provides that the term of the House of Representatives is four solar years, commencing from the date of the announcement of the general election results in the Official Gazette.
  2. Step 2: The King retains the constitutional prerogative to prorogue, dissolve, or extend the assembly's term by royal decree.
  3. Step 3: Identify four solar years.
Answer
Four solar years.
Why not the others: 'Five solar years' is the parliamentary term in countries like the UK or France; 'Three solar years' was used in certain historical assemblies; 'Six solar years' is the term for US Senators.
