One of the key challenges regarding the legitimacy of the political system is related to the principles proposed by scholars in the field. This issue occurs also under the theories of the Supreme Leader as one of the contemporary political thinkers. This research, using a descriptive-analytical method, considers his intellectual principles to be summarized under the three main components of the model, structure, and function of the agents of the political system. His intellectual principles in realizing the model of the political system include dynamic ijtihad and system-building jurisprudence; which, after presenting the model of the legitimate system through jurisprudence, also entails the necessity of negating the tyrant and the legitimacy of people's activism. Under the legitimacy of the structure of the political system, the guardianship of the jurist is the main pillar and the source for legitimacy of other pillars of the system. The component of the performance of the agents also has three bases and criteria: the obligation to maintain the system, justice, and efficiency.
