PEOPLE AND THE GOVERNMENT
A government which does not do injustice and respects people’s rights is favored by the people, and no power can topple such a regime. In a religious government, dictatorship and despotism do not exist, and for this same reason, Imam considered the vote of the parliament to be decisive and central to gaining progress in government affairs, and he did not see it simply as a formal entity. In Islam, even the personal views of the society’s wisest man of religion and sage are not favored over that of the people.
