Before the revision of the constitution in 1368, the country was divided according to the parliamentary structure.

This research was done with analytical-descriptive method and obtaining the opinion of experts and related experts. The findings of the research indicate that the establishment of a presidential or parliamentary system in the country can have positive and negative consequences, but considering the requirements and criticisms such as the lack of disciplined parties, the amendment of the constitution and the weakening of the republic Any change in the political structure of the country needs to pay attention to the political, cultural and social requirements of the country, which will make the system more efficient while solving the current problems and obstacles.
