This chapter applies the theories of delegation developed earlier to problems in public law. To begin, the chapter studies judicial review of agency action. It discusses the Chevron doctrine, an important principle in administrative law, and the circumstances under which judges should defer to agencies. Next, the chapter studies legal limits on delegation. The “nondelegation doctrine” limits the power of one branch of government to delegate power to another branch of government. The chapter then turns to relationships between citizens and the state. Citizens can petition the government, seek subsidies, and even capture agencies. Officials can make public-spirited laws or hand out special favors. The chapter studies limits on these activities, including laws on lobbying, bribery, and campaign finance. |
