Abstract
One of the topics that has occupied the minds of many thinkers for centuries is tyranny and the ways to fight it. Basically, tyranny is known as the absolute power of the king and sultan, a power that does not impose any limits and restrictions on itself, and stability and intimidation dominates the society. The changing field of power in Iran has always been determined by the outcome and intersection of conflicts and compromises of powerful social classes. However, the Qajar period had a self-sustaining order centered on socio-political forces and the government. In this article, the author intends to explain and analyze the grounds of tyranny in the construction of class-social power in Nasrid era Iranian society, in the form of collective movements and actions, with the explanatory and causal method and from the perspective of historical sociology. Anthony Giddens' integrated model of structuring traces the phenomenon of tyranny from the Nasrid period to before the tobacco movement in Iran. Therefore, by using the dialectic of action and structure and their relationship with the performance of influential social agents from their own social situations, we can find the fundamental cause of the authoritarian structure from the Nasser era to before the tobacco movement, in the structures formed in the heart of events and incidents. This is the time to follow, explain and analyze.
