Mashruteh

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mashruteh is the name of a constitutionalist-democratic movement that was constituted in Iran in 1905 at the beginning of the Iranian Constitutional Revolution . Ali Akbar Dehchoda defines "Mashrutiate" as follows: "Mashrutiate was initially neither used in the Arabic nor in the Persian language area. The word" Mashrutiate "was adopted from the Ottoman-Turkish language area in the Persian language and means" constitutional state ". It is used in Persian Used synonymously for “ constitution .” The movement's aim was to create a “rule of law” through the abolition of absolutism and the introduction of a constitutional monarchy .

The Mashruteh movement consisted of broad sections of the population, led by clergy, merchants, nobles and craftsmen. It is not to be confused with the Maschru , a strictly conservative-theocratic-reactionary group that goes back to Sheikh Fazlollah Nuri . Ayatollah Khomeini took over the ideas of Nuri and became their Ghomer exponent.
