In the research hereby presented, the case study of Iran, the three types of legitimacy theorized by the German sociologist Max Weber will be emphasized and, therefore, this essay will try to demonstrate how they are the most suitable method for analyzing the sociopolitical evolution of the Iranian leaderships over the past hundred years.
