England does not have a constitution.... Great Britain does have a constitution and they argue about it repeatedly. With some reason, as it's not written down -g-. But the British claim it exists anyway.

A Written Constitution israel.org " Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the protection of human rights has fallen to the judiciary, for Israel has no formal constitution or Bill of Rights. In 1948 it was decided to adopt a written constitution, and a Constituent Assembly was elected to implement this decision. However, internal political problems soon led to a decision to postpone the immediate adoption of a constitution. Instead, the constitution would be prepared by the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, chapter by chapter in a series of "Basic Laws" which would eventually be brought together to form the constitution. Thus the Basic Laws, taken together, comprise a "constitution-in-the-making." At present, the drafts of three additional basic laws are being circulated prior to their submission to the Ministerial Committee on Legislation: Draft Basic Law: Due Process Rights; Draft Basic Law: Social Rights; and Draft Basic Law: Freedom of Expression and Association."
