Which concept best describes the constitutional principle that limits Congress from giving its legislative power to another branch of government?
Supremacy clause
Necessary and proper clause
Nondelegation doctrine
Separation of powers
The nondelegation doctrine is a constitutional principle that prevents Congress from delegating its legislative powers to another branch, most commonly the executive branch. However, Congress can enact laws that provide general guidelines or overarching frameworks while allowing another branch to implement details or procedures, so long as an 'intelligible principle' exists to guide the delegation. Other options are incorrect because they either mischaracterize or incorrectly describe this principle. For example, separation of powers broadly governs the division of duties among branches, but it is not specific to legislative delegation.
