The nondelegation doctrine is one of five pillars key to understanding the main areas of debate about the nature and scope of the administrative state. As Boston University School of Law professor Gary Lawsonwrote in a 2001 law review article, "The nondelegation doctrine may be dead as doctrine, but it is very much alive as a subject of academic study."[1]

Some argue that the delegation of one branch of government's power to another, which allows administrative agencies to issue rules with the force and effect of law, violates separation of powers principles because it runs counter to the nondelegation doctrine—a legal principle holding thatlegislative bodies cannot delegate their legislative powers to executive agencies or private entities. In other words, lawmakers cannot allow others to make laws. Others counter that statutes giving open-ended authority to executive or judicial actors are not actually delegations, and that administrative rulemaking is not tantamount to lawmaking, making concerns over delegation moot.
