Here's Question No. 15 (It's a Country Concept question.):

In Iran, velayat-e faqih (Guardianship of the Jurist) was intended to keep religious leaders in charge while representing the will of the people.

Identify two ways that the revolutionary regime created under velayat-e faqih was intended to represent the will of the people.

Explain one way in which that regime was designed to prevent populism from overwhelming the "guardianship" of the religious leader. (4 point question)
