In The Administrative State Before the Supreme Court: Perspectives on
the Nondelegation Doctrine, leading scholars consider a revival of the
Constitution's nondelegation doctrine--the separation-of-powers
principle that bars Congress from transferring its legislative powers to
the administrative agencies. Although the nondelegation doctrine has
lain dormant since 1935, some Supreme Court justices have recently
called for its return. As the Supreme Court takes up the doctrine in
current cases, this volume makes a timely contribution to our
understanding of the separation of powers and the Constitution.
