The governments of Jordan and Kuwait are both constitutional monarchies, meaning they have a monarch (king) who holds power but also have a constitution that outlines the powers and limits of the government. The monarchs in Jordan and Kuwait have more power compared to the governments of the United Arab Emirates and Oman, where the rulers (presidents) have less power and are more limited by their respective constitutions. Additionally, citizens of Jordan and Kuwait have the ability to vote, while in UAE and Oman, citizens do not have the same voting rights. However, it should be noted that women in Jordan and Kuwait face limitations in terms of running for office, whereas in UAE and Oman, women have more opportunities to participate in politics.
