Accordingly revolutions can be categorized in two groups, revolutions for freedom and those for equality, based on the cause to which is given priority by revolutionists. Investigating Tocqueville`s thoughts , the present paper seeks to, in the first stage , index a tree-factor model consisted of “the equality of conditions” , bureaucratic centralism, and the literates` dream-making ; then, put this three-dimensional conceptual apparatus to the test through focusing on Iranian Revolution . On this basis, in the new Age, the desire for equality of conditions in the Iranian society has been significantly expanded.
