A Constitutional Revolution: Israel\u27s Basic Laws

Not everyone knows this, but recently a revolution has occurred in Israel. I am speaking of a constitutional revolution, in which the Knesset, as the constitutive branch, enacted Basic Law: Human Dignity and Freedom, and Basic Law: Freedom of Occupation. The first law provides that no person\u27s life, body or dignity shall be violated, by virtue of being human. A person\u27s property shall not be violated. Every person is entitled to protect his or her life, body and dignity. Every person has freedom from imprisonment, detention or extradition. Every person has the right to leave Israel, and every Israeli citizen has the right to enter Israel. Everyone has the right to privacy and confidentiality. A person\u27s private domain may not be entered without his or her consent. No search may be made of a person\u27s private domain, on his body, of his body, or his personal effects. The confidentiality of a person\u27s conversations, writings and records may not be violated
