A Sociological Analysis of Power Components in the Constitutional Period: An Inquiry into the Distinction between “Nobles” and “Commons”

The main issue of this research is investigating the role of power components in the continuation of the distinction between the the common people and the nobles during the constitutional period as the first experience of the Iranian nation in having the rule of law. The research approach is analytical and the data are analyzed based on Bourdieu's formative structuralism. The results of this research show that in creating a concept and shaping mentalities, the type of discourse that governs society, character, temperament and habits of people, along with the various dimensions of political and economic power, has an effective role. To create or consolidate a situation in society is not necessarily the only instrumental power that is effective, since social dominance is not guaranteed forever Therefore, it should always be accompanied by some kind of indoctrination that is shaped in the form of discourse and the creation of concepts. Therefore, we witness the continuation of the distinction between commons and nobles communities during the constitutional period; one of its consequences was the failure of the constitutional system to implement the equality of the law for all  members of the Iranian nation.
