Exercise on Delegated Legislation (a) The three main types of delegated legislation are identified in the source as Statutory Instruments, Bye-laws and Orders in Council. Delegated legislation is legislation made by a body other than Parliament, it is sometimes referred to as secondary legislation. Statutory Instruments are the most common form of delegated legislation. They are made by government ministers and departments who are given authority to make regulations for areas under their particular responsibility. Therefore the Minister for Transport would be able to deal with necessary road traffic regulations, because they come under the Ministers for Transports' responsibility. The authority is given to the government ministers by an Enabling Act, also known as a Parent Act. An example of a Parent Act is the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, which amongst other things gives the Secretary of State powers to make regulations about the employment of disabled people. Statutory Instruments make up a large part of delegated legislation, over three thousand are made per year, compared to only seventy acts. Bye-laws are made by local authorities and public corporations. Local authorities make Bye-laws regarding their own local area. So a County council can make laws affecting the whole county, and a local town council can make laws for that town only. This is because the local authorities are considered to have the local expertise to make the more specific decisions. Bye-laws as mentioned can be made by public corporations. For example a corporation can make bye-laws about public behaviour within their premises. An example of this is the smoking ban on the London Underground system. Orders in Council are identified as the third type of delegated legislation. The parent act for Orders in Council is the Emergency Powers Act 1920. This gave the Crown and the Privy Council the authority to make Orders in Council. This authority is only ever exercised during times of emergency when Parliament is not sitting. (b) (i) Delegated legislation can be challenged in the courts on the grounds that it is considered to be ultra virus (beyond the powers

Yes, I think Congress has too much power. Because under the constitution, Congress has the most important power and that is to make/change laws.

The constitution is just like the backbone of our country. Because it was written in a way that allows us to change it as the country changes; that is the reason it has survived for 225 years and most likely there will be many more years for it. There are four ways the Constitution changes, The Elastic Clause, Amendment Procedure as a Mechanism for Change, The Bill of Rights, and Supreme Court Decision.

The Constitution of the United States of America (US) is the bedrock of the political and judicial system of a country which at the time founded represented a new direction of governance not practiced for nearly two millenniums. The US became the first democratic republic in modern history with a Constitution that came into force in 1789, deriving more ideals from the Romans or the Greek Mini-States that from any political system in place around the world at the time. It is undeniable, even by the strictest constructionist or originalists that the U.S. Constitution borrowed concepts not only from famous ancient philosophers like Aristotle or Cicero but also from modern political thinkers like Locke, Montesquieu
The President of the United States is considered to be the most powerful person in the world. However, the President is not given the full power, as we think they are given. The President’s legislative powers are defined by a checks and balances system among the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch of the American Government. What are the President’s legislative powers? The two main legislative powers the President has is to pass or sign a bill and to veto a bill. However, even if the President vetoes a bill, Congress can still override that veto by a two-thirds vote from both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
With fifty states making up the United States, most follow a similar government set up as the federal government. With the exception of Nebraska, each state is made up of a bicameral legislature. In a bicameral legislature, there are two separate houses, one being the upper house and one being the lower. The Indiana General Assembly is the state legislature of Indiana. Being bicameral, the Indiana General Assembly consists of the upper house, the Indiana Senate, and the lower house, the Indiana House of Representatives. While Indiana follows a very similar bicameral system as the federal government, Nebraska became the only state with a unicameral state legislature in 1934, meeting for the first time in 1937 (NCSL 2016). In this paper I will
From five states arose delegates who would soon propose an idea that would impact the United States greatly. The idea was to hold a meeting in Philadelphia called the Constitutional Convention in 1787 meant to discuss the improvements for the Articles of Confederation and would later be called the United States Constitution. The United States Constitution was greatly influenced by Ancient Rome, the Enlightenment, and Colonial Grievances.
An issue that has remained debatable since the Jackson litigation was what ought to be the ultimate controlling factor in the British constitution: parliamentary sovereignty or the rule of law. This essay sets out to consider the reputedly irreconcilable tension between the two fundamental constitutional principles by analysing the extensive obiter dicta in Jackson and relating it to judicial review which upholds the rule of law. The contention of this essay is that despite the courts' deferential attitude towards the sovereignty of the laws of Parliament, the rule of law may potentially gain dominance and surpass parliamentary sovereignty to become the ultimate controlling factor in the British constitution.
The legislative Branch is a powerful part of our governmental system. One of the strengths of it is that it has powers that no other branch has. The legislative branch, including both the House of Representatives and the Senate, is given extensive powers by the Constitution. The legislative branch is the only branch that can create laws or change existing laws. In addition to creating and changing laws, the legislative branch has an array of powers such as: the power to declare war, confirm or reject many Presidential appointments, impeach a federal official, to include the president or a justice of the Supreme Court, create annual federal budgets and direct how federal monies are spent, and extensive investigative powers. Essentially, one of the legislatives branches’ greater powers to creating and changing laws do not yield there; additionally, if the President vetoes a bill, they may override his veto by passing a bill again in each chamber as long as the chambers can get at least a two-third voting in favor of the bill. An example would if the President wants to create a program and/or a system, he will have to go through Congress for approval of the
It has been observed that most constitutional monarchies have a parliamentary system in which the monarch may have ceremonial duties or reserve powers according to the constitution. In the United Kingdom, the rights and duties of the head of state are established by conventions. These are non-statutory rules which are just as binding as formal constitutional rules. The monarch’s reserve powers include the power to grant pardons, bestow honours, appoint and dismiss a prime minister, refusal to dissolve parliament, and refusal or delay royal assent to legislation. Strict constitutional conventions govern the usage of reserve powers. If these powers are used in contravention of tradition, it will generally provoke a constitutional crisis.

Constituent policies are concerned with the establishment of government structure, establishment of rules or procedures for the conduct of government, rules that distribute or divide power and jurisdiction within the present and future government policies might be made.

In 2002, President George Bush did not see the need of a department to manage terrorism, however, he changed his mind and called on Congress to create a Department of Homeland Security. A procedural example of constituent policy is the Federal Administrative Procedure Act of 1946 with outlined the procedures to be used by agencies to ensure openness and fairness in agency decision-making.
