The Iranian Constitution, adopted in 1979 after the Islamic Revolution, serves as the fundamental legal framework for the country. It outlines the structure of the government, the rights of citizens, and the principles of the Islamic Republic. The Constitution emphasizes the role of Islam in governance and establishes various institutions, including the Guardian Council and the Assembly of Experts. The Constitution consists of 177 articles and is divided into several chapters, addressing topics such as the powers of the Supreme Leader, the President, and the judiciary. It aims to balance Islamic values with democratic principles, although its interpretation often leads to debates about civil liberties and political rights in Iran.
