Mohammad Ali Shah Qajar to the Constitutionalists: ‘The People Are Sheep, and We Are Their Shepherds

According to Saed News, Mohammad Ali Shah Qajar responded to the constitutionalists as follows:

"Subjects are wrong to protest, wrong to demand their rights, wrong to seek a court of grievances, wrong to supervise, wrong to limit our power, wrong to want a constitution. The nation is wrong to reject us… It is our shadow that brings peace.

What concern has a subject with rebellion? What concern has a subject with questioning the sovereign? What concern has a subject with crying out for justice? Subjects are wrong to reject us! Subjects are sheep, and we are the shepherds! Our shadow brings tranquility, bestows blessings, and wards off calamity! We are the ones who confer honor; we are the ones who own Iran!"
