Abstract
Citizenship theory is defined by rights as well as commitment and cooperation indices. Accordingly, the issue of women rights, regardless of duties and commitments explicated by the constitution, reveals to be inefficient and incomplete. On the other hand, the employment of citizenship theories—as instruments for delineation and interpretation of constitution, proves effective in arriving at a balanced realization of women rights and commitments within the constitution logic. Of course, the most important issue within citizenship theories is doubtlessly theorization on “citizenship rights”. By focusing on theories of citizenship rights and categorizing them under related citizenship theories, we attempt to present a tool for deeper perception of the nature and goals of constitution and its proper mechanism for supporting women major rights and freedom. At the end, a balanced perception of women citizenship rights and commitments is proposed. Besides, the hypothesis of balance between women citizens’ rights, commitments and cooperation within constitution framework is discussed, and new interpretations of principles 50, 40, 14, 8, 3 are presented. Moreover, the way the condition “according to the law’’ in many principles of nation laws should be interpreted according to issues of women citizenship will be discussed
