Abstract

The theory of constitutionalization of administrative law is one of the methods by which the constitution is protected. It is used when the fundamental rights and values as well as the principles in the constitution are implemented by administrative law. The system of administrative law is clearly influenced by the principles that constitute constitutionalization. Protection of the constitution is one of the most important issues in any legal system. [The Iranian] legal system is no exception to this rule, and judges have an important role to play in safeguarding the constitution. This theory is almost a decade old in our country. The results of this study, which is written in a descriptive-analytical method, indicate that due to the lack of a constitutional court [in the Iranian legal system], the two institutions of the Guardian Council with it’s priori supervision and the Court of Administrative Justice with its posteriori supervision, have taken steps to implement the neglected principles of the constitution and in this way the constitutionalization of administrative law has been gradually achieved.
