Abstract

Despite the constitutional revolution of Iran being one of the most important social movements in Iranian history and it was then that modern concepts entered the Iranian politicalsocial literature, there has been few efforts made to understand and grasp these concepts. This article intends to evaluate the viewpoint of the religious leader of constitutionalist, Akhond Khorasani in relation to the modern concepts of constitutionalism, I.e. lawful government. The dominant political system that presided the constitutional revolution was absolute monarchy and their always was a sole individual who ruled Iran in a complete dictatorial fashion as its king. The constitutional movement demanded for the first time a parliamentary or constitutionalist government. In this article, all the primary documents and sources such as announcements, letters, telegraphs, fatwas and answers to questions through which Akhond Khorasani expressed his views vis-à-vis the concepts constitutionalism are analyzed by means of the hidden content analysis methodology and by using the viewpoints of Habermas, the German sociologist who has respected views regarding the theory of modernity.
