The interactions of the executive and legislative powers (1327-1356 AH/1948-1977 AD) in the advancement of the development programs showed that construction is a costly, time-consuming and challenging process, and planning is realized as a political-economic process in the light of legislation. Therefore, the evaluation of the deliberations of the National Council shows a new narrative of how to realize the development plans and the discourse governing these institutions. This article seeks to answer this question, “what was the role of the legislature in the formulation and policy making process of the development programs during the period of Mohammad Reza Shah? In order to find an answer, it is necessary to find out at what levels the convergence of the mentioned institutions was significant in the progress of the development programs and changes in the program organization? What factors caused their divergence towards programs to increase or decrease? How much flexibility did the parliament show in considering the economic conditions? The role of the program commission in the internal structure of the parliament and the creation of the program supervision board is also examined. The findings show that the alignment and difference between these institutions can be seen in the planning and creating the necessary infrastructures at several levels. First, the convergence of the institutions could be observed in the country's need for economic-social planning and the approval of key laws, cooperation in the creation of the program organization. The differences appeared in issues such as the allocation of credits and expenditure, decentralization, regional development and government downsizing. This research evaluates these issues in a causal-comparative way, using parliament's deliberations, documents and library resources.
