Khomeini was a marja ("source of emulation") in Twelver Shi'a Islam, author of more than forty books, but is primarily known for his political activities. He spent more than 15 years in exile for his opposition to the last Shah. In his writings and preachings he expanded the Shi'a Usuli theory of velayat-e faqih , the "guardianship of the jurisconsult (clerical authority)" to include theocratic political rule by the Islamic jurists . This principle [8] [9] was installed in the new Iranian constitution [10] after being put to a referendum. [11]
