Abstract

Political imagination is political identification and constitutionalism can be considered as the beginning of scientific imagination in Iranian politics. Imagination works by creating doubt, which is a form of political and social education, and of course, it is accompanied by criticism and leads to creativity. The imagination of constitutionalism was also to create doubt. Constitutionalism had the nature of humanities and it was for the society to be governed by humanities. Management with humanities in constitutionalism can be called the line of national resistance, which was especially meaningful against British colonial interventions. Even though constitutionalism preceded the democratic foundations in Iran's political history, it led to failure, and of course it provided the basis for the next movements of the Iranian nation. The victory of the Iranian Islamic Revolution caused a deeper view of constitutionalism to be formed. But the Islamic revolution cannot be considered as another experience of constitutionalism.
