Abstract :
The foundation and essence of any government lies in the political power inherent in it, provid-ing legitimacy and credibility to that government, both in its establishment and continuation. In essence, the stronger the political power of a government is with a robust support base, the as-surance of its strength and continuity is more guaranteed. Conversely, if the political power of a government relies on a fragile foundation, it will be prone to instability and lack of sustainabil-ity. Now, the question arises: What is the essence of this support base for any political power? In other words, what is the phenomenon that constitutes the support base of the political power of any ruling entity? In response to this fundamental question, various legal, social, and political doctrines have put forth numerous theories, generally categorized into two forms: governments with popular support and the will of the people (democracy) and governments with transcen-dental support and will (theocracy).
