The State of Israel built its unicameral democracy at the birth of itself. Historically, however, most of the modern democracies were established through democratic transition or revolution. And a large proportion of democracies the U. S. exported by force ended in failure. In contrast, Israeli democracy was established without any transiting process and was strong enough to survive wars. It also developed and improved itself. By applying process-tracing method to study the history of Israel’ s establishment, four conditions that contributed to the success of Israeli democracy emerged: consolidation of Zionism, various Jewish communities, the democratic spirit of Ben-Gurion and his colleagues and the restriction to armed conflict. The presence of the four conditions is the internal reason for the success of building Israeli democracy.%以色列在建国初期就建立了一院制民主政体。但纵观历史，现代民主国家大多是经民主转型或民主革命而来；美国在冷战后强行输出的民主政体大多也以失败告终。而以色列的民主政体不但能够不经任何历史铺垫而成立，还经历了数次战争的考验，并不断发展完善。使用过程分析法对以色列建国历程进行考察，可得出以色列民主政体在建国之初得以成功构建的4项条件：锡安主义的凝聚力、众多不同犹太社团、本-古里安等领导人的民主精神、有限的军事手段。这4项条件的同时存在是以色列建国之初成功构建民主政体的内部原因。
