In addition, there are representatives elected from appointed organizations (usually under the Supreme Leader's control) to "protect the state's Islamic character".[2]
Prior to 1979, Iran had its political system as a parliamentary democratic constitutional monarchy with parliamentary system. The Shah served as its head of state while the Prime Minister held the post of the head of government from the 1906 Persian Constitution. While the political system is secular in nature, it has been described as authoritarian in the later years of the Imperial State.
