| | In 1963 the shah began a series of social, economic, and political reforms known as the White Revolution. | | | But while the constitution partly diminished the religious authority of the wali faqih and placed clerics on an equal footing with politicians, it reinforced the government’s powers to impose its decisions on society. | | | After Bazargan resigned, Khomeini held a December referendum in which more than 99 percent of voters supported a new constitution. |
