During the Iranian Islamic Revolution, the slogan "Esqlal, Freedom, Islamic Government" was first raised. This slogan was changed to "Esqlal, Freedom, Islamic Republic" by the leaders of the revolution in December 1357. This change is an indication of the twin belief in religious government and democracy in the thought of Imam Khomeini (RA) and other leaders of the Islamic Revolution. He does like Ayatollah Beheshti. The turning point of this was the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran on April 12, 1358, in which Ayatollah Beheshti was one of the influential figures in the establishment and drafting of its constitution. In this article, we examined the theory of religious democracy in his thought. After examining the category of political system in the thought of Ayatollah Beheshti and comparing the data with the proposed frameworks for the religious democratic system, the results and findings of the research indicate the belief in the basis of divine-popular legitimacy in the theory of religious democracy in the thought of Ayatollah Beheshti. Our research method in this article has been descriptive-analytical and we have used the library method to collect information.
