The concept of "self-management," which is rooted in rational principles, in this article refers to the human capability to organize social relations through limiting individual will and adhering to resultant obligations. Conversely, "freedom" is a fundamental component in the collective determination of destiny and holds a rightful position in society. Therefore, freedom is among the most crucial subjects confronted by both the individual and the state in various contexts. In the constitutional law of the Islamic Republic, due to its religious foundations, all elements of governance - including freedom - are interpreted based on a monotheistic worldview, which distinguishes it fundamentally from other systems. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this study explores the concept and implications of the principle of self-management and its correlation with freedom. The findings suggest that absolute freedom leads to chaos and the invalidation of social commitments. Moreover, the principle of limiting freedom in social life is inescapable. Consequently, “national self-management” is the manifestation of freedom coupled with human responsibility.
