Abstract
parties and organizations. So, the question that arises here is how to analyze and examine the position of constitutional agents in the failure of this movement with a sociological approach? The hypothesis of the research is that the internal contradictions and obvious contradictions in the actions of the groups involved in this revolution are considered the main reason for the failure of this movement. The results of the research show that the lack of a correct definition of the constitution, the transformation of constitutionalism into the formation of a new state in the form of a powerful person (here Reza Shah), the contradictions and divisions of the institution of the clergy, as well as the challenge of the clergy with the complete introduction of concepts and values Western influence - which was in conflict with Islamic values - to the Iranian society, the intervention of foreign powers and the control of the process of constitutional changes caused the failure of the constitution, and the final result was the birth of a new dictatorship from its heart. The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical, and the data was collected in a library and survey method.
