In Western thought, the sovereignty of the people is manifested in a democratic system, and the individual deals with his social relations with an identity independent from the society and the government. Also, the legitimacy of laws and government comes from the sovereign will of the people, and governments guarantee the rights and freedom of the people.In fact, maintaining and respecting such mutual rights is necessary for the individual and the society. Because it is only in the shadow of fulfilling duties and fulfilling the right that the government and the individual can grow. In the Islamic system, there is a direct relationship between the people and the absolute sovereignty of God, and the people have been granted the right to self-determination, and the people have accepted this religious basis. The purpose of this research is that considering the fact that the government of Iran is republican and Islamic, this article aims to address the issue of how far the law of Iran as a republican state and Imami jurisprudence as well as international documents is correct. The sovereignty of the people and the establishment of democracy have been taken into account, and on the other hand, considering its Islamic nature, how has this right been applied?
