Abstract
In the early 20th century, with the constitutional revolution and the formation of the first Constituent Assembly, Iran legislated the principles of foreign policy. The attributes of foreign policy in the constitutional law are non-revolutionary, rational, based on neutrality and peaceful foreign relations. Despite the policy of Russian and British influence in Iran, followed by the imposition of political and economic contracts in the years leading to the constitutional revolution, the question that is raised is why has the foreign policy output of the constitutional revolution mainly been realistic, non-revolutionary and formed in line with the international system? The hypothesis that we propose to answer this question is that a complex configuration of internal economic, political and social aspects in connection with international factors is the formation of the revolutionary situation and the coalition of mobilization of internal forces and foreign powers on the path of revolution. As a result, it has led to the emergence of a rational, realistic and peaceful foreign policy. The method of this historical-interpretive research is based on George Lawson's theory of historical sociology.
