Abstract

At the threshold of the new era, the concept of Iran's subjects underwent a break and thematic transformation. In the pre-constitutional era, especially during the era of Naseri, with the realization of the modern era and the promotion of modern awareness, a kind of generational fault was created, and the preachers of the new models emphasized themes such as the establishment of the House of Justice, the National Council, in order to provide the conditions for the possibility of defending public rights. they did These developments, which were created under the influence of European modernity, provided the grounds for a transition to a new concept of the nation in Iran. Therefore, the question is: How was the semantic evolution of the concept of the law-making nation established in the social substratum with the existence of the Sharia tradition system in the matter of legislation? With the method of conceptual history, an attempt is made to interpret the method of reproduction and integration of the new concept of nation in Iran. The birth of the concept of the "legislator" nation, in the speech of the lawyers of the Constituent Assembly, was a new experience that according to the approved amendment to the constitution, the nation of Iran and its deputy legislators were the source of the legitimacy of the new system, and themes such as the sovereignty of the will of the nation, the need for accountability of government officials, limited monarchy and commitment to the nation were institutionalized in practice
