Jurisprudence and Government (book): Difference between revisions

[[Kazem Qazizadeh]] has stated with a historical perspective that the Shiites first considered all jurists to be authorized to act as guardians. Then, in order to solve the problem of conflict between jurists, [[Imam Khomeini]] believed in the velayat of the faqih, which according to Qazizadeh, is the first stage of the beginning of the theory of the [[guardianship of the jurist]]. After the formation of the [[Islamic government]] and the need to manage the society and the government, it led to the formation of the next stage in the theory of [[guardianship of the jurist|velayat-e-faqih]], which is the [[guardianship of the jurist|velayat-e-faqih]] of the most learned. He considered the next stages to be the appropriate jurisprudence, and after that, the elected jurisprudence, which is both correct and elected by the people. (pp. 90-91).

Qazizadeh then expressed three views about the position of people's vote:  

# Absolute Republic, meaning the total validity of the people's vote in the [[legitimacy]] of the government, which he called an extreme theory.

# Pure divine legitimacy means the negation of any credit of the people in the [[legitimacy]] of the government, which according to Qazizadeh is also extreme because the only effect of the people's vote is to be Shari'i in the process of discovering the rightful judge. He also referred to a proposal by [[Mohammad-Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi|Mohammad Taqi Mesbahe Yazdi]], based on which the members of the Experts Council should be elected not by the people's vote but by the jurists' vote (p. 93).  

# People's involvement in [[legitimacy]], in the sense that the people's vote is part of the factors that give legitimacy to the legal guardian, and thus, the people's vote cannot be ignored in any matter (p. 94).
