This study tried to see whether the National Assembly Elections of Iran in Pahlavi period (both Reza and Mohammad Reza) were held according to the Constitutional Law. Relying on the documents, memoirs, and other historical sources, this study endeavored to approach the mentioned issue and clearly shows it. Its significance lies in determining if the regime was actually following the constitutional law as it was continuously claiming to be a constitutional monarchy. It can reveal the nature of the two Pahlavi regimes as democratic or autocratic governments. Elections of the 6th to 24th parliaments were held in the Pahlavi era. The main question is that whether the parliamentary elections were based on the Constitutional Law and included the determining role of the public in choosing their own future or the executive power from the beginning had been trying to control the legislative power.
