Abstract

One of the most basic institutions of the current democracy is the Parliament (Majlis). In democratic countries, there is a bicameral or unicameral parliament, elected or appointed, which represents the principle of representation of the people and national sovereignty. This institution has many names in many countries. In Iran's constitutional law system, the Islamic Council is considered a representative institution and fulfills its duties in two main ways: legislation and supervision. In this regard, this year, it is raised that what is the supervisory position of the Islamic Council in religious democracy? In response to this question and in the form of findings, it is stated that in the religious democracy ruling the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Majlis has five supervisory dimensions. These dimensions include institutional supervision, informational supervision, political supervision, financial supervision and discretionary supervision. The current research has been carried out with the analytical descriptive method and using the library and documentary method and using the constitution as the main sources.
