	Basic Laws of Israel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Basic Laws of Israel are a key component of Israel's "uncodified constitution".
		Thus, Israel has what is called an "unwritten constitution", in the form of the Basic Laws of Israel.
		The basic laws are various pieces of legislation from the Knesset that outline the nation's political structure.

	Basic Law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term Basic Law is used in some places as an alternate to "constitution".
		A Basic Law is either a codified constitution, or in countries with uncodified constitutions, a law given to have constitution powers and effect.
		The basic laws are the highest authority, respectively, in the regions, while the rights of amendment and interpretation rest with the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China.

	Israel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name "Israel" is rooted in the Hebrew Bible, the Tanakh, where Jacob is renamed Israel after wrestling with a mysterious adversary ("a man", and later "God" according to Genesis 32:24–30; or "the angel", according to Hosea 12:4).
		Israel and Palestinian officials signed on September 13, 1993 a Declaration of Principles (also known as the "Oslo accords") guiding an interim period of Palestinian self-rule, as well as avoiding any act of violence and inciting for violence, especially violence aimed at innocent people.
		Israel is bordered by Lebanon in the north, Syria, Jordan and the West Bank in the east, and Egypt and the Gaza Strip in the south-west.

	The Constitution of the State of Israel (1993)
		Although Israel does not have a single complete constitutional document, in its forty-five years of statehood the Jewish state has developed an operative constitution of its own, embodied in a set of written texts that reflect the political system on which the state is based, its social content, and an expanding constitutional tradition.
		An ordinary law cannot contravene the provisions of this Basic Law except for a worthy purpose and in a manner conforming the values of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state.
		This is a Basic Law which recognizes the individual's freedom to choose an occupation as a basic right and imposes restrictions on the terms determined by the authorities for licensing occupations.

	Basic Laws of Israel: Freedom of Occupation
		Fundamental human rights in Israel are founded upon recognition of the value of the human being, the sanctity of human life, and the principle that all persons are free; these rights shall be upheld in the spirit of the principles set forth in the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel.
		This Basic Law shall not be varied except by a Basic Law passed by a majority of the members of the Knesset.
		Basic Law: Freedom of Occupation** is hereby repealed.

	Israel Studies--The Role of the Supreme Court in a Democracy
		A statute that is inconsistent with a Basic Law is invalid.
		Some of the Basic Laws require a special majority of the Knesset in order to amend or repeal their provisions--either a majority of all members of the Knesset (that is, at least 61 members), or a super-majority of 80 or 90 Knesset members.
		The creation of law by the judiciary is incidental to the adjudication of a dispute; this law-making, as it pertains to the interpretation of the law, derives from delegation by the legislative branch itself.

	Arutz Sheva - Israel National News
		The Court is dominated by leftist justices wedded to the anti-democratic doctrine of "judicial activism", which holds that non-elected justices have the right to impose their personal views on the electorate and on the elected representatives of the people, as long as their views make leftists and radical secularists happy.
		Israel, however, has no formal written constitution and so there is no constitutional basis upon which a court can override a Knesset law.
		In reality, these Basic Laws are simply laws passed by one Knesset and there is no basis for claiming that a law from an old Knesset can be used to restrict legislative powers of a new Knesset.

	IsraelNow - News - January 12, 2003 - Why doesn't Israel have a Constitution? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Israel doesn't have a constitution in a single document, but it does have one in the form of laws and court decisions that lay down the foundations of government and the rights of individual citizens.
		Basic Laws defining Israel's legislative, executive and judicial branches of government, human rights, the state's economy and lands, civil-military relations, and the status of Jerusalem, have been enacted in this way since the early 1950s.
		Israel has to consider drastic changes including tax reduction, deregulation, privatization, infrastructure investment, reduction of state subsidies, reduction of welfare, and adoption of incentives for direct investment from outside Israel.

	Basic Laws - Introduction
		After all the basic laws will be enacted, they will constitute together, with an appropriate introduction and several general rulings, the constitution of the State of Israel.
		Following the adoption of the Harari proposal in 1950, work began on the legislation of the basic laws, the first of which - the Basic Law: the Knesset, which was initiated by the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee - was adopted by the third Knesset.
		Others claim that the superiority of basic laws stems from the fact that they are the product of the Knesset acting as the Constituent Assembly, and that from their mere definition as "basic laws" one may conclude that they are constitutionally superior.

	Constituting Israel - The Boston Globe
		Sharon's strength testifies to the weakness of the Israeli political system, wherein members of Israel's parliament, the Knesset, and the prime minister himself, are elected not directly but rather by virtue of their ranking on the list of their respective parties.
		When Israel came into existence as a state, in May 1948, its founders expected it to be a matter of years, if not months, before it adopted a constitution.
		The 20 percent of Israel's population who are Arabs view a constitution as an instrument to guarantee their equal rights both as individuals and as a national minority, whereas for Jewish nationalists, the document should define the way in which Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people.
