The Israeli Constitution: From Evolution to Revolution
 |
| Anteprima |
Israeli
constitutional law is a sphere of many contradictions and traditions.
Growing out of British law absorbed by the legal system of Mandate
Palestine, Israeli constitutional law has followed the path of
constitutional law based on unwritten constitutional principles. This
book evaluates the development of the Israeli constitution from an
unwritten British-style body of law to the declaration of the Basic Laws
as the de facto Israeli constitution by the supreme court and on
through the present day. The book is divided into a chronological
history, devoted to a description of the process of establishing a
constitution; and a thematic one, devoted to the review and evaluation
of major constitutional issues that are also the subject of discussion
and research in other countries, with emphasis on the unique
characteristics of the Israeli case.
