In Jordan, we know no ruler or regulator for the
relationship between the state and the people, or that among state
institutions, other than the Constitution. Anything outside the boundaries of
the Constitution, or that seeks to go over it, is an infringement and assault
on the state and the people that requires firm retribution.

A century has passed since the establishment of the state,
which these days is celebrating entering its second centennial. At each of its
historical milestones, the transition of power was subject to the articles and
provisions of the Constitution.
In this context, the Constitution was the sole source of
legitimacy, which provided stability and resilience to Jordan and its
parliamentary-based Hashemite system.
The first decades of the Kingdom’s first century were not
all years of stability; there were dozens of attempted coups on the state and
the Constitution, but they all failed, and the Constitution and the
parliamentary hereditary monarchal system remained standing.
Anyone who believes that after a hundred years they can
overthrow rooted traditions, settle personal accounts, and achieve
self-ambitions outside the power of the Constitution and the law are wrong.
The King represents constitutional legitimacy, and with his
constitutionally stipulated rights and duties that were agreed upon by the
nation, he is head of the state, the guarantor of its Constitution, and the
commander of its armed forces. Conspiring against him is treason against the
nation and its Constitution.
The stability and durability of Jordan has historically been
tied to the stability of the institution of the Throne, and any attempt to
tamper with this formula will subject the Kingdom to a state of instability,
which we have experienced before, and no Jordanian would ever allow its
recurrence.
The past decade was a cruel lesson that taught us the
meaning and value of stability, security, and civil peace. We have witnessed
how countries around us were manipulated by foreign parties that left their
peoples drowning in blood and homelessness.
Each reform and development process for our political system
was conducted in accordance with the Constitution, not outside its
jurisdiction, with consensus between its components and under the leadership of
the Throne.
Jordan, considering its geopolitical location, is deemed a
coveted treasure; its stability and durability are vital for the countries of
the region, but is in a location that is tempting for exploitation and
manipulation with the aim of achieving gains to some sides on various fronts.
When those around us feel that Jordan is strong and
internally cohesive, they submit to the reality, but once they find a fissure,
they do not hesitate to infiltrate.
