Summary/Abstract: From the very beginning, Israel has been a democracy under siege. For the first forty-five years of its existence, Israel lived without a written constitution or any other written statement of the basic rights and freedoms of its citizens. The task of safeguarding the basic rights and freedoms in Israel was left to the courts. The Kol Ha`am decision was an inspiration for the construction of Israeli human rights case law on the broadest possible base of normative sources, such as the basic principles of equality, liberty and justice, the American constitutional case law, the principles of Jewish law and tradition and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
