The second constitution, following a year of resistance and the armed struggle of militia under the auspices of the priests, was once again established in the Iranian society. Nevertheless, the second constitution, similar to the first constitution, had an unsustainable, fragile, and instable. The life of this foundation lasted less than two years, and eventually was eliminated with the Russian ultimatum in 1950. This paper studies the fragile living cause of the second constitution through studying the role of priests by employing the theoretical approach of Tocqueville. For this purpose, the process of the political activities of the priests as one of the most influential political forces in uprising the constitutional revolution has been studied in two stages: 1. revitalizing activity, and 2. stabilizing activity. This paper emphasizes that the centralization of political transformation without considering the socio-cultural transformation project in line with structural changes is one of the most effective causes for the short life of the second constitutional revolution.
