Abstract

The formation of the government and the adherence of the people to the institution of government, based on the principles of both Sunni and Shi’a jurisprudence, depends on the formation of the "correct" government. The "correctness of governance institutions and mechanisms" and conversely, the inconsistent jurisprudential theory of "imperfect government" in each of these principles, despite conformity, have significant differences. In addition, the weakness of the government faces many challenges and ambiguities that will affect the ratio of powers and scope of guardian and obligee to the sovereignty and duties of citizens.
The present study, with a descriptive-analytical design and explanation, deals with the comparative comparison of imperfect government in general jurisprudence and its contexts in Shi’a jurisprudence, and on the other hand, considers the various provisions of the public law of such government. The legitimacy or validity of domestic legal authorities’ (or institutions) actions that are not in line with sharia or legal conditions, can be a dimension of this theory in Iranian constitutional law. As a result, in Shi’a political jurisprudence, “the government of unjust”, “the guardianship of the believers” and “the election of a non-competent person to rule”, can be the forms for the realization of an imperfect government.
