Studying the role and position of the people in the political and social structure of society is one of the key issues in the social theories of Muslim thinkers. This position is related to the theory of Velayat-e Faqih in the social theory of Imam Khomeini. The issue of "representation" has a special place in the theory of Velyat-e Faqīh, which is the most important social theory among Shiite Fagihs (Islamic jourists), especially in the contemporary era. Whether a Fagih is a representative of God or of people is the topic of controversy among thinkers and Fagihs. Each theorist considers a different role for people based on the origin of authority and legitimacy of Velyat-e Fagih. Given the findings of this study, it can be stated that, according to theory of appointment, the all-inclusive Fagih has been appointed by the Innocent Imam to the position and has divine legitimacy and the role of people in this theory is accepted due to its functionality. Whereas, in the theory of election, the legitimacy of a Fagih derives from people and his jurisdiction is determined by society.
