The Administrative State Before the Supreme Court: Perspectives on the Nondelegation Doctrine

This volume brings together leading scholars to examine the revival of the nondelegation doctrine, a constitutional principle that prohibits Congress from transferring its legislative powers to administrative agencies. Dormant since 1935, the doctrine has recently gained renewed attention from Supreme Court justices. As the Court considers cases involving this doctrine, the book offers timely insights into the separation of powers and constitutional governance. It explores the implications of reasserting legislative limits on administrative agencies and the potential impact on the balance of power within the federal government. This collection is essential for understanding the evolving role of the administrative state and its constitutional boundaries.
