The ever-increasing population of the country necessitates, year after year, the regular participation in the lower and upper legislative councils, the financial and municipal councils, and the provincial councils, taking a share in the legislative front. And the greatest characteristics that distinguish this representation and its advancement through the strata encompassing the economic life of the nation are the limited number of central government officials in local authorities and the continuous expansion of the jurisdiction of these authorities, along with increased popular participation in managing their private affairs. And I have no doubt that this advancement has had a positive impact on the people's morals and character, helping them ascend the ranks of national and domestic pride. Although some people have expressed doubts from time to time about the success of representative councils in this era of success, it is not surprising given the current state of the country. It was necessary to overcome great difficulties and numerous obstacles in the path of progress and advancement. For absolute government always leaves behind the traces of the feelings it engenders in people's souls. Therefore, it is not easy for those accustomed to submission to the decrees of a ruler to suddenly, and in one go, embody the qualities of wise advisors. Expressing abstract opinions detached from the situation is easy for people who have been raised to do so in matters they are competent to consider. However, this ability is not innate but acquired. Consequently, a new experience like this innovation will naturally, at first, lead to caution and avoidance of what might displease those whose power and authority were absolute in the past. At the very least, it is a reasonable assumption, compared to the past, that they might one day translate that power into openly expressing their conscience and voicing an independent opinion. This is from one perspective. From another perspective, there is a mixture of ideas in another group, which tends to express an independence that exceeds the bounds of moderation in giving opinions and harboring political goals and aspirations that cannot be achieved. This group takes a position of opposition to everything the government proposes, no matter what. These people do not see that ruling through an advisory council and its companions is entirely about assisting the government wholeheartedly, to the best of its ability. They believe that good counsel and sound advice, offered by the council to the government in its proper place, are what prevent the harm of misguided and burdensome projects. They believe that their opinions and suggestions are what enable the government to accept the desires, aspirations, and duties of the people towards it and to fulfill them within its capabilities.
