InThe Administrative State Before the Supreme Court: Perspectives on the Nondelegation Doctrine, leading scholars consider a revival of the Constitution's nondelegationdoctrine—the separation-of-powers principle that bars Congress fromtransferring its legislative powers to the administrative agencies. Althoughthe nondelegation doctrine has lain dormant since 1935, some Supreme Courtjustices have recently called for its return. As the Supreme Court takes up the doctrine in current cases, this volume makes a timely contribution to ourunderstanding of the separation of powers and the Constitution.
