Legislation and Democracy in Iran
Monday 21 Apr 08
Following a revolution that ended the years of the absolute rule of the Shah (king), Iranians wrote their first constitution in 1906. Through writing and passing the contents of the Constitution they were able to document their most important revolutionary quest which was putting an end to the absolute power of the Shah over the country’s political affairs.
Election?
Monday 21 Apr 08
It is widely thought that Iranians have accepted - at least in the political realm - that their choices in the forthcoming parliamentary elections on March 14, 2008 are limited to picking between the lesser of two evils. However, Iranian people are not satisfied with this limited choice, and their silence should not be interpreted as a sign of their approval.
