The Constitutional Revolution of Iran is a good subject for studing historical, cultural, social and political events of Iran from 1324 until now. Studying the Constitutional Revolution using the sociological theories, helps us better to understand its causes and consequences in different levels of the Iranian society. The theories of revolution try to explain why and how revolutions happen and what are their consequences.
