The Constitution of Israel : A Contextual Analysis EPUB
by Professor Suzie Navot
Part of the Constitutional Systems of the World series
EPUB
Description
This book presents the main features of the Israeli constitutional system and a topical discussion of Israel's basic laws.
It focuses on constitutional history and the peculiar decision to frame a constitution 'by stages'.
Following its British heritage and the lack of a formal constitution, Israel's democracy grew for more than four decades on the principle of parliamentary supremacy.
Introducing a constitutional model and the concept of judicial review of laws, the 'constitutional revolution' of the 1990s started a new era in Israel's constitutional history.
The book's main themes include: constitutional principles; the legislature and the electoral system; the executive; the protection of fundamental rights and the crucial role of the Supreme Court in Israel's constitutional discourse.
It further presents Israel's unique aspects as a Jewish and democratic state, and its ongoing search for the right balance between human rights and national security.
Finally, the book offers a critical discussion of the development of Israel's constitution and local projects aimed at enacting a single and comprehensive text.
