Conceptualizing Rule of Law in Proceedings of Iran Constitution 1979

Proceedings of Iran Constitution 1979 is not considered in a critical way and in philosophical analysis of law in the new legal sources and researches after ratification and implementation of the Constitution. The main function of the rule of law is to establish an unbreakable relationship with the concept of the constitution-the attainment of power and securing the rights and freedoms of individuals. Hence, the assessment of the concepts of rule of law in the proceedings of Iran Constitution 1979 is of increasing importance in the history of contemporary Iranian constitutional law. From the relatively new term of the rule of law, many concepts and perceptions are extracted. For this reason, so far, various and numerous interpretations and meanings from the rule of law have been inferred and presented. The minimalistic concept is the most abstract and most appropriate definition. The law-governed government and its opposite, law enforcement government, are the concept of law as value and the conceptual and material conception of other important concepts which are expressed primarily by the philosophers of law from the rule of law. The definition of these concepts and their critical adjustment with speeches and readings described in proceedings of Iran Constitution 1979 constitutes an analytical-descriptive as well as comparative research which is performed in this paper with reference to the basic resources.
