The Constitution of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan was enacted in 1952 and in article 15 of Chapter 2 it states “The State shall guarantee freedom of opinion; and every Jordanian shall freely express his opinion by speech, writing, photography and the other means of expression, provided that he does not go beyond the limits of the law.”
