Iranian Constitution

The Iranian Constitution, adopted in 1979 after the Islamic Revolution, establishes the framework for Iran's political system. It combines elements of Islamic law (Sharia) and democratic principles. The government consists of a Supreme Leader, who holds significant power, and elected officials, including the President and the Parliament (Majles). The Constitution enshrines citizens' rights, but these are often balanced with Islamic values. It emphasizes the role of Islam in governance and integrates various political and religious institutions, aiming to maintain the principles of the revolution while providing a system for public participation and representation.
