Abstract EN

It cannot be denied that the universal principles of human rights have had an increasing influence on the constitutional law.

They have taken a constitutional characteristic in most states of the world.

They represent one of the significant elements and criteria of seeking guidance with regard to the constitutional interpretation of rights and fundamental freedoms.

In this context, national constitutions and international charters on human rights have been adherent to guarantee citizens the right to candidacy as being a sacred constitutional right.

As for the constitutional provisions that addressed the citizen's right to candidacy, the Jordanian constitutional legislator identified the conditions that should be satisfied by any candidate for the membership of Parliament pursuant to Article 75 of the constitutional.

Although, the principle of general candidature reflects a good implementation of democracy, the Jordanian legislator, stipulates some restrictions that practically limit the scope of the right to candidature for some categories based on some justifications.

Accordingly, this study will analyze the right to candidature, its scope and basic rules in the Jordanian Constitution.
