One of the issues that can be studied in the thought of the middle Ages is the perception of Muslim scholars is "the political". Every conception of the political also implies the prescription of a specific type of government pattern. What is the point of view of Muslim scholars on the political and what has affected the pattern of government is the question in the present research. What is the purpose of this article in the two important approaches of the thought of the Islamic period, namely, the philosophical ethics and the Andarz Nameh writing, which is prominent in the political narrative, and which model of government it emanates from. In the narrative of philosophical ethics, the political means to create an organic and transcendental environment for the continuation of action arising from the inner desire of humans. "Friendship" is the most important part of the achievement of such a community. This narrative leads to the presentation of the state's organic model. In the second narrative, the world of human beings is a permanent controversy. In this situation, the political means the efforts of rulers to maintain power from the struggle of "others"; a struggle that is permanent and endless. The second narrative offers a toolkit for a mechanical state to sustain and expand power.

After the coming of the Pahlavi regime, with the formation of nation-state in Iran, centralized governance apparatus was only continuation pattern in governing in the contemporary era. For understanding the reasons of continuity the centralized governance pattern in Iran, there have been raised many debates in the field of sociology and political science. But political processes, including the feature of governance, also affect by geographical situation and any emerging phenomenon in a country, including the features governance is basically influenced by the natural and human dimensions of country. In this regard, political geography views are against theories that believe that evolution of societies pass through the same stages. In this paper, with the descriptive-analytical approach, have been struggled to explain the most important geographic indices for continuity of centralized apparatus in Iran. A new perspective has been posed on the causes of the centralized governance emergence in Iran. Findings research reveals that the slowdown of the spatial and structural distribution of power in Iran produced from geographical factors such as increasing the share of oil revenues in generating public expenditure and developing the rendering government. Also, Inappropriate dispersal of biological resources and ecological needs has been caused more need for greater role the government in improving the viability of unplanned areas.

This paper intends to analyze the consequences of the distribution of natural resources (land and water) in the political and social structure, to present rent management theory as an alternative approach to explaining some of the historical events and the political and social issues of Iran. The main issue of the paper is the explanation of the consequences of the distribution of the natural resources in Iran during the Qajar period. The data was collected from the National Documents Archives and other library resources, and by historical method, the rent analysis was analyzed. The findings show that, in Iran's economic history, the government is placed as the largest distributor of natural resources (land and water) on the supply side, and society (capital and labor) is placed as the largest consumer, on the demand side. The structure of political and social institutions, based on the model of the implementation of social justice, in the distribution of natural resources, monolithically consolidates. This pattern has been one of the main factors behind the creation of rents and the establishment of rents management institution in the government. During the Qajar period, Thiol, conversion, the difference in prices and the salaries and wages of the princes, have been the most important channels for the distribution of rents, split from the rent government agency. These canals were blocked after the Constitutional Revolution, with the decisive action of the first parliament. The state rent agency was one of the main factors in the ineffectiveness of the tax system, the continued decline in government revenue, and the prevalence of bribes and corruption. The ultimate goal of distributing rents has been the exemption from tax payments. Other important consequences of rents include the transfer of major economic privileges and the occurrence of a constitutional revolution.

Islamic Republic of Iran is a state with unique features in the present time that the matching characteristics with the characteristics of the modern state, there are many opinions dispersed. The modern state, which has its roots in the history of the West, has 10 features that distinguish it from pre-modern states. Meanwhile, the Constitution is an essential characteristic of the modern state That means adherence to the constitution. Therefore, the theory of constitutional government emphasizes that the the government is basically guardian of order based on the constitution 's power structure and the structure of power in all its aspects should be based on the constitution. This article tries to comment on the constitutional criteria, in the characteristics of the modern state, and the state's political power structure in the Islamic Republic of Iran in this respect will be reviewed and concludes that although in cases such as: the structure of representation, separation of powers, rule of law and the judicial process of securing the Islamic Republic of Iran, there are roots of the development of a governance structure based on the constitution, but with a little reflection on some of the principles of the constitution and also delving into some practice, it is observed that in the context of community governance, constitutional ambiguities of criteria has occurred.
