The State of Israel as the National Home of the Jewish People

What's shocking is not that Israel's constituent assembly (Knesset) failed to ratify a constitution, but that they failed to even propose a tentative draft (they not only failed to complete the work; they never even began it)! The task would have a whole lot easier during the first 6 months (or even years) after Israel's formation than it is now, 60 years later.

in reference to:

"As  part of the Declaration, it was determined that the elected constituent assembly would ratify a constitution within half a year of the establishment of the State.  Because of the existential wars imposed on the State of Israel since its birth and because of  political disagreements (many of them partisan), Israel has remained until today without a constitution.  Because of this, the State of Israel's legal character as the National Home of the Jewish People was never explicitly delineated, leaving us only with the general principles stated in the Declaration of Independence."
