Abstract :

Since traditional counseling is ancient in Iran and mainly emphasizes on how to maintain or gain power. Examining this issue during the constitutional period, which is mainly the main issue of reducing the power of the Shah, is of particular importance. The purpose of this article is to examine the writing of advice during the constitutional period, and the main question is whether, despite the desire to limit the power of the Shah, the basic axes of writing advice have changed? In this article, we examine two treatises that are from the memoirs of the constitutional era: one is the treatise of Shariat Mozaffari from the Queen of Historians and the other is a treatise on the definition of the formation of a civilized nation by Hussein bin Mahmoud. Mousavi and their elements are compared to ancient periods in Iran. The results of this study indicate that the main purpose of the constitutional period consultations is to find final and practical solutions to get out of a situation that is considered deplorable. The insights of these letters of recommendation also indicate a kind of dichotomy in the transition from absolute monarchy to constitutional monarchy. In this duality are found both elements of ancient counseling and doctrinal tendencies towards the king and the monarchy. This research has been prepared and compiled in a descriptive-analytical method based on consulting sources.
