Iran's Constitution

Iran's Constitution, established in 1979, combines Islamic principles with modern governance. It raises Iran as an Islamic Republic, where ultimate authority rests with the Supreme Leader, a religious figure with significant power over all branches of government. The President is elected by the people and handles daily administration but must align with Islamic laws and the Supreme Leader’s guidance. The Parliament enacts laws, and the Guardian Council reviews them for consistency with Islamic principles. The Constitution also guarantees basic rights, but they are subject to Islamic law and oversight. Overall, it blends democratic elements with religious authority to shape Iran’s political structure.
