Which combinations constitute the elected legislative and executive institutions in Iran according to the constitution?

• A. Majles and Guardian Council
• B. Guardian Council and Leader
• C. Majles and President
• D. President and Supreme Leader

Answer: (C)

In Iran, the elected legislative and executive institutions are the Majles (the Islamic Consultative Assembly) and the President. The Majles is the nationwide elected body that drafts and passes laws and can oversee the executive. The President, chosen by popular vote, heads the executive branch and implements laws with the cabinet. The Guardian Council and the Leader are not elected as a pair of legislative and executive institutions—one is an unelected supervisory body and the other is an appointive position. So the combination that reflects elected legislative and executive institutions is Majles and President.
