Abstract The Islamic revolution and the authority of jurisprudence in the political and social fields led to the emergence of new jurisprudential issues and challenges, one of which is how to regulate the relationship between individuals and the government. In Western science, this issue was raised in various forms, including social contract. Since political power is related to regulating people's relations with the government, the main point is the nature of power in the Islamic government from a jurisprudential point of view. In fact, the question here is about the jurisprudential aspect of the relationship between statesmen and citizens and its rules and norms. Using the descriptive- analytical method, this article tries to answer this question by analyzing the jurists’ statements and finding and developing the roots of obvious and hidden evidence used in it. The research results show that from the point of view of jurisprudence, the relationship between citizens and the government is in the form of a legal contract of trust (deposit). A few contemporary jurists have briefly mentioned the trust of power in the Islamic government, but in this article, the evidence and results of this claim are examined. Among the results of the trust of power is the need to verify the trustworthiness of agents and supervise them, and the need for guaranty in case of their violations.
