Theocratic Democracy and its Critics

Dr. Ahmad Va’ezi[1]

A theocratic democracy is a model of political system whose founders believe in a combination of theocracy and the people’s governance. That means while accepting every individuals’ right for interference and participation in the process of macro-scale decision making in political and social fields, and in political power distribution, the system also highly respects the supremacy of religion in social and political fields. This general definition does not all by itself show in which one of the assumed and probable frameworks of this combination and amalgamated form of governance can be fit.
