The causes of devolving the legislation authority to House of Justice and its problems

Abdul-Baha and Shoghi thought that the administrative order of the world has a significant problem and they tried to resolve it on the basis of the Baha’i Administration. They believed that the world countries are either under a full dictatorship or a full democracy. They claimed that the Baha’i Administrative Order is away from this problem and it is a new order between those two systems. They claimed that there is a divine pillar named The Guardian of Faith who is the head of the administration and explains and comments the Baha’i teachings and writings and he is the connector between the Creator and the Created and protects the world order democracy. Secondly, there is an elected House of Justice which is the second pillar of Baha’i Faith. Its function is legislation in Baha’ism when there are no clear laws in Baha’i writings and it protects the community from full dictatorship. The Guardian of Faith who is the permanent head of the House of Justice supervises the approvals of it and informs the members of the House if there will be any contradiction with the main writings of the Leaders to revise their decisions and legislations. In this system, they claim that there will be a divine guarantee to House decisions and on the other hand, the House will decide and canonize about the new problems, questions, and requirements in coordination with the new human demands. In this article, we review this system and discuss the bugs and objections in practice. There are three main points in this review:Firstly, there were not any time that these two pillars were together in any time of the history of Baha’ism and this vacuity cannot solve the problems of Baha’i Faith and its followers in its administrative order. Secondly, the current House could not furnish and fulfil its functions in the absence of the Guardian and in many occasions has refused to do its duties. Thirdly, sometimes these two Pillars interfered to their own functions. In one side Abdul-Baha and Shoghi made rules, and on the other side the House carried out the interpretation of the Baha’i texts. There are many problems in the system of Baha’i administration order.
