Constitutional Revolution

The Constitutional Revolution was a political movement, primarily in Persia (modern-day Iran) during the early 20th century, that aimed to limit royal power and establish a constitutional government. It led to the creation of a constitution and a parliament, reducing the authority of the monarchy and promoting rule of law, political representation, and civil rights. This shift was driven by demands for modernization, national sovereignty, and increased public participation in governance, marking a significant step toward modern democratic institutions in the region.
