In response to this question, while introducing the pillars and principles of religious democracy, which are based on the teachings of divine sovereignty, God-centeredness, and truth-orientedness; value-orientedness; public will and the consent of Muslim people, law-centeredness; meritocracy, and attention to collective intellect and common will in social decision-making and planning, an effort will be made to explain its relation to political development in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Issues such as the position of the people in the government, political participation, the position of the Islamic government regarding the formation of political parties and their role in the government, the nature of the Velayati system and its interaction with democracy, political pluralism in the Islamic government, and political development and its relationship or interaction with Velayat-e Faqih are some of the matters that, after the change of the political system in Iran and the establishment of the Islamic Republic, have attracted the attention of scientific and political circles inside and outside the country.
In response to this question, while introducing the pillars and principles of religious democracy, which are based on the divine teachings of the religion of Islam, public will and the consent of the Muslim people, value-orientedness, truth-orientedness, law-centeredness, and meritocracy, an effort will be made to explain the ratio of political development to the system of religious democracy.
Therefore, in a religious democracy system, the political system is based on two pillars, divine and human, and this system, by considering the creedal principles of Islam, explains the relationship between the people and the government (Eyvazi, 1389: 291-312).
