The relationship between the government and the people based on constitutional rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran in the face of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

The pattern of relations between the government and the nation in religious democracy in the face of pervasive disasters such as the corona is different from the model of liberal democracy. In this model, based on the two pillars of the republic and the Islam in the Iranian constitution, the government manages and directs the spiritual and worldly affairs of society based on the will and vote of the people within the framework of the laws and teachings of revelation. Unlike liberal and capitalist systems, in which material affairs and interests are original and human rights and welfare policies are secondary, and these policies are adopted to maintain the system, in the Islamic Republic system, human rights and welfare policies will be given real authenticity and priority, and will not lead to the dual rule of Islam or the republic in the face of pervasive crises such as the corona. In this research, the principles governing the relationship between the government and the nation in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the face of the corona are obtained by analytical-descriptive method and the use of library resources. Based on the findings of this study, the principles of dignity, equality and non-discrimination, freedom, welfare and security, citizenship rights and the rule of law in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic are guided by the Pouvoir Constituant of Velayat-e-Faqih, which protects and strengthens the mutual rights of nation and state in the face of Coronavirus (COVID-19).
