Kommentar/Beschreibung

"The Non-delegation Doctrine Intelligible Principle or Unworkable Standard?"

In this class we will study, discuss, and debate the non-delegation doctrine in detail. Under the US Constitution, legislative, executive, and judicial powers are are vested in three separate branches deliberately interwoven to carve from unitary power three separate but equal branches of accountable authority. An important principle of this structure, developed through case law, has been that Congress cannot modify this this constitutional structure by delegating its power to write laws to the administration. What is this doctrine? What is its value? What is its impact on the balance of power and on individual liberty? These are the major questions that we will look at through close readings of case law and academic articles.

This is an American-style seminar class, where a small group of ten to fifteen students will focus on reading and discussing a small selection of key texts, distributed thematically over the course of the semester. Sessions will help students develop a deeper appreciation for American Law in particular, and the Common Law in general. Performance in the class will be based upon class participation (50%) and a final essay (50%).
