What exactly is meant by the "null"s that someone tacked onto some of the dates? 68.39.174.238 03:44, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
- It means that that Basic Law has been cancelled and replaced by a later Basic Law. Deror 23:21, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
== Declaration of Independence Promissed? I think this is incorrect: "Though its declaration of independence promised the constitution would be completed no later than October 1, 1948, the gap between religious and secular proved too difficult to bridge, and a full, unifying document was never produced." As far as I know, the document that is the declaration of independence is approximately this document http://www.zionism-israel.com/dic/Declaration_of_Independence.htm and there is nothing in that ducment about any constitution. It is not the sort of document that would include such things. It may have been a resolution of the constituent assembly. "
According to Knesset information, there was some doubt about the special status of these laws -- whether or not they are superior to regular laws -- but in practise that doubt has been resolved by High Court rulings. http://www.knesset.gov.il/description/eng/eng_mimshal_yesod.htm

The above seems obsessed with inserting some nonsense into the list of them. Watch out... 68.39.174.238 17:14, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Title and naming
I believe that a more apropriate title for the article and its subject would be "Foundamental laws of Israel" as it constitutes a more accurate translation both linguistically and semantically.
- That is the official translation as it appears in the Knesset web site, and as is in other countries. Deror 15:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
I agree with the above, that is the translation.
[edit] table
Can the table include a column "vote" - the for/against vote by which each was passed?
And in the comments, any comments about unusual features of its passage (up to 1 brief sentence)?
Last, is "law of return" not a "basic law" in this sense? If not, does it need a section "other important laws" or something?
