Question 4 • World and Regional Geography (Semester)

How does Jordan’s monarchy differ from Brunei’s monarchy?

Answer
A
The king shares power with other branches of government.
B
The king simply acts as a ceremonial head of state.
C
The king has no authority over the judicial branch.
D
The king does not have control of the armed forces.

Explanation

Jordan is a constitutional monarchy: the king has significant powers, but government authority is also exercised through other branches and institutions. Brunei’s sultan holds much more concentrated power as an absolute monarch. So the key difference is that Jordan’s king shares power with other branches of government; he is not merely ceremonial.
