{"product_id":"9781782252092","title":"The Constitution of Israel: A Contextual Analysis","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.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140042998000,"sku":"9781782252092","price":34.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781782252092_p0.jpg?v=1763720306","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781782252092","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
