Constitutionalism represents an irreversible transitional phase in the historical trajectory of Iran, precipitating unprecedented ideological conflicts. A primary arena of this contestation was the theoretical struggle among Sharia proponents regarding the legitimacy of the Constitutional regime and its nascent institutions—a struggle that significantly expanded the horizons of contemporary political thought. In this context, Mohammad Hossein Tabrizi, through his treatise Kashf al-Murad min al-Mashruteh wa al-Istibdad, emerged as a prominent critic of the Constitutional order. He addressed critical debates concerning the compatibility of the Constitutional system with Sharia law, advancing arguments in defense of a Sharia-compliant monarchy (saltanat-e mashru’eh). The central research question explores how Tabrizi conceptualized the political crises of his era and the solutions he proposed for their resolution. The study proceeds on the hypothesis that he perceived the prevailing crisis as a consequence of the Constitutional regime and its derivative institutions, attributing this instability to a neglect of Sharia foundations. While his ideal was a deeper integration of Sharia and politics through a mashru’eh framework—modeled on a return to traditional precedents—his pragmatic prescriptions reflect a form of political restoration; by accounting for the “status quo,” he advocated for a return to an independent monarchy.
