Given the importance of the relationship between government and people as one of the key issues in political discourse, and the shortage of relevant theoretical studies and research in the Islamic Republic of Iran, the purpose of this study is to develop a model of the relationship between government and people in Iran with an institutional approach. This research has been carried out using qualitative Grounded Theory method. The statistical population includes the experts who have practical knowledge and experience in the fields of public law and political structure of the government. These experts were selected using snowball sampling method and the data were analyzed using Atlas software. Content analysis of the interviews resulted in introduction of "religious democracy" as the central issue of the relationship between the government and the people, which includes the main dimensions of benefits for the people, authoritarianism, divine rule and supervision and guidance. Besides, causative, mediating and moderating elements were identified and the final framework was developed. The findings showed that the ideological thinking of the statesmen, moderation, constitutional commitment, and domination of the rulers are the factors influencing the relationship between government and people. In addition, the type of the relationship between government and people can lead to consequences such as public trust, public satisfaction, legitimacy and social cleavage. Establishing a relationship between government and people based on the constitutional institution has positive effects such as satisfaction and public trust, and increases the legitimacy of the government among the people and provides the basis for the removal of the social cleavage.

Citizen participation is the outcome of democracy in the new era. It is the recognition of the dominating right of every human being in shaping their political, economic and cultural destiny. Meanwhile, according to Islamic teachings, people’s participation is a fundamental doctrine and principle of the Islamic state. Therefore, the Islamic state is supposed to design a mechanism for realizing the upmost participation of the people. The research question involves factors contributing reinforcement or weakening of people's participation in different sections of the government. To identify these factors, the researchers selected Nahjulbalaghah, one of the most important sources of religious knowledge. Data analysis was conducted through the Maxqda strategy for thematic analysis. The results indicated that preventive and driving factors affecting citizenship participation are divided into two categories, each of which can have a public and governmental origin. In other words, both governments and citizens affect participation. The interactional power of preventive and driving forces create the level of balance of citizenship participation.
