This study aims to present a native and dynamic model for the distribution of political power in the Islamic Republic of Iran based on the ideas of Shahid Ayatollah Dr. Beheshti. The main issue of the research is the redefinition of the relationship between “divine legitimacy” and “popular acceptance” in the power structure and the examination of strategies to prevent concentration, inefficiency, and institutional gaps. The research method combines document analysis and comparative critique of Beheshti’s works and positions, alongside a conceptual comparison with competing theories such as Rousseau’s social contract and Foucault’s networked power. Findings indicate that the proposed model, inspired by Beheshti’s intellectual framework, delineates three interwoven layers: 1. The centrality of religious leadership and the Supreme Leader as a regulator linking fixed principles and variable needs; 2. Separation of powers and institutional balance to ensure justice, efficiency, and mutual oversight; 3. Active participation of the people, elites, and intermediary institutions (parties, councils, Guardian Council) with the clergy’s mediating and discourse-building role in preserving legitimacy and reproducing social capital. The innovation of this model lies in emphasizing the responsible and reflective role of the clergy, as well as transparent mechanisms, public education, and civil institutions as executive tools for the sustainability and reproduction of legitimacy. The durability of this model depends on transparency, public oversight, avoidance of monopoly, and continuous functional reforms. This framework provides a foundation for future research in religious democracy and institutional engineering.
