Abstract
Due to global developments in constitutional law and especially the importance of principles of republicanism, the sovereignty of the people and the protection of individual rights and public liberties as the foundations of constitutionalism and constitutional government, it seems that a new category of constitution that is consistent with the principles and foundations of constitutionalism and the constitution should be provided. Therefore, the classical categories of constitutions are briefly introduced and then their unlawful aspects will be criticized and then, new categories of constitutions are introduced and described. This classification is based on the assumption that republic governments can be constitutionality and with a focus on the protection of liberty can use its power without being required to comply with liberty in its liberal concept. So as constitutions can be divided into two types of liberalism and republicanism, governments can be classified into two types of Republicanism and liberalism too. Since the classic categories have acted based on inductive method, therefore, this method has been used to criticize and propose alternatives.
Highlights
Since the French Revolution and the establishment of the Republic, the constitution and compliance with the principles and rules contained therein was one of the main challenges in the subject of political power
With the development of the Republic and Constitutionalism, the subject was that what relationship can and should be between the content of these two concepts? In addition, how should be the government restrictions to the constitution, by the aim of protecting individual rights and public liberties and the sovereignty of the people, in order to create a stable political power and on the other hand, not to have an adverse effect on social relationships and private life of people? These are practical concerns that seem that in theoretical debate, less attention has been paid to it
Constitutional government is a kind of republic that its action, reduction and its justification of political power is on the basis of compliance with the Constitution and its interpretation is based on the protection of the nation's sovereignty and individual rights and freedoms of the public
Summary
Since the French Revolution and the establishment of the Republic, the constitution and compliance with the principles and rules contained therein was one of the main challenges in the subject of political power. One of the most important examples is various theoretical categories of constitutions, without any attention to the relationship between these categories with types of governments. These categories have been proposed at the times that constitution as a legal written document was not dominant and influential in government policies. These categories in a highly abstract and useless way are practical and realistic. To analyze, review, and criticize them and especially offer alternative proposals, inductive method should be used
