The purpose of this study is to examine the position of the Persian 'ulama toward the idea of constitutionalism and the Persian Constitutional Revolution of 1906, as exemplified in the life and political thought of Mirza Muhammad Husayn Na'inî (1860-1936). By studying Nâ'ïni's discussion of tyranny and the principles of democracy, we learn to what extent the 'ulama were aware of democracy and to what extent they were prepared to make concessions to modernity. / Le but de cet ouvrage est d'examiner la position du clergé Chi'i vis-à-vis du concept de la constitution et la Révolution constitutionnelle persane de 1906, comme il est illustré dans la vis et la pensée politique de Mirza Muhammad Husayn Na'ïnî (1860-1936). Les discussions de Na'ini de l'idée de tyrannie et des principes démocratiques, nous permettent de voire comment les 'ulama ont compris la démocratie, et ainsi jusque à quel point ils étaient prêts à faire des concessions à la modernité.
