Political Supervision on the Power and Its Practice through the People in the Legal System of Iran

Although in the political and legal discourse the term of political supervision is used repeatedly, there is little discussion available about the analysis of the meaning of this concept and the quality of practicing it through the governmental institutes and also by the people in the political systems. This article emphasizes the position and role of the people in applying this supervision mode in order to control the power, and it tries to provide a clear definition for the political supervision and its features, so that it is clarified that in the current society of Iran, considering the vastness of the society, it is not possible to use the people’s direct supervision for the realization of a favorable control system. Instead, it is inevitable to appeal to modern mechanisms in accordance with the requirements of the current time and also it is necessary to reform the existing mechanisms.
