Abstract

On the 24th of Jumadi al-Thani 1324AH, with the issuance of the constitutional decree by Muzaffar al-Din Shah Qajar, the National Assembly was opened for the first time on the 17th of Sha'ban 1324AH of the country, and on the order of the assembly, a committee started drafting the constitution. After that, the Constitution was prepared in 51articles and was signed by Shah, Mohammad Ali Mirza (Crown Crown Prince) and Mirza Nasrullah Khan Mushir al-Doulah (Prime Minister) on the 14th of Dhu Qadah 1324AH. The fact that it was mostly related to the formation of the parliament, the law, the law, its limits and rights, and because it did not fulfill the purpose and in this case there was no mention of the duties of the people towards the government and vice versa, therefore the parliament assigned a committee to prepare an amendment to the constitution which This board compiled and submitted the amendment to the law in 107articles using the constitutions of Belgium and France. Because the spirit of the law was influenced by the non-religious culture of 19th century Europe and some of its principles contradicted Islamic rules, it was opposed by a group of clerical opponents inside and outside the parliament. As a result, after the conflict between the political assembly and the court over some principles, including the principles that severely limit the powers of the king, finally, on 29Sha'ban 1325 AH, the amendment to the constitution was signed by Muhammad Ali Shah. Principles 1to 7 of the amendment, about the general principles and foundations, principles 8 to 28about the rights and freedoms of the people, 26 to 107about the rules and laws of the government and how to divide the authority of the government between the three powers and different departments. It was the government.
