Abstract
The Iranians’ understanding of the political concepts posed in Mashruteh (Constitutional) Period is a challenging issue which can help us better study Iran’s Constitutional Revolution and the grounds for its failure. Right and law are two modern political concepts which entered into this period as part of people’s claims. The Iranians’ image of the said concepts is the basic issue discussed in this study. Poetry of the Constitutional Period, with all its peculiarities, serves as the closest source to the Iranian understanding of the political concepts in the said period.
