Abstract
The constitutional revolution is considered as one of the most important political and social upheaval in Iran in the last two centuries. This historical event, which roots go back to a century ago, is the result of many theoretical thoughts and practical actions, among which the role of the chancellors of the pre-constitutional era as powerful political figures is very significant. This research, with a descriptive-analytical approach, while analyzing the actions of the chancellors in order to limit and regulate the absolute power of the monarchy, examines the effect of these actions on the demands of the constitutionalists and the constitutional constitution and its amendments. The purpose of the research is to answer the question of what effect did the efforts of the chancellors have on the absolute Qajar monarchy in the first place and what effect did it have on the constitutional movement in the second place. It seems that the chancellors, with their reformist actions, have taken important steps towards making fundamental changes in the political and legal system of Iran. Although these efforts faced many challenges, they gradually provided the ground for the formation of the demands of the constitutionalists and finally the victory of the constitutional revolution.
