One of the main concerns of the modernist elites, in both intellectual and instrumental forms, was political development as the axis of reform thinking, they considered the modern government as a background for increasing the capacities of the society for development. For this purpose, they wanted to establish a centralized government, bureaucracy and modernize military institutions. From this point of view, in order to achieve this goal, they were following the transition from traditional institutions that hindered development to modern institutions; In this way, to achieve centralization and building a regular government and progress. Therefore, the consensus of the elites was considered a necessity here. Although these goals were not welcomed by the ruling classes such as courtiers, nobles and scholars, or even sometimes by the Qajar kings themselves. The research method in this article was descriptive and analytical. The findings of the research show that political development and the construction of a regular government as the focus of reform thinking at that time, in addition to the structural challenges and the ruling law, within the intellectual elites themselves never had a systematic concept and definition and was not subject to consensus and the components and Its mechanisms were not clear.
