For much of American history, the legislative branch was strictly separate from the executive branch.  In [[Marshall Field and Co. v.Clark]], the [[Supreme Court]] noted: "That Congress cannot delegate legislative power to the President is a principle universally recognized as vital to the integrity and maintenance of the system of government ordained by the Constitution."

For much of American history, the legislative branch was strictly separate from the executive branch.  In 1825 in the case of Wayman v. Southard, Chief Justice Marshall noted that "The line has not been exactly drawn which separates those important subjects which must be entirely regulated by the legislature itself from those of less interest in which a general provision may be made and power given to those who are to act under such general provisions to fill up the details. To determine the character of the power given to the courts by the Process Act, we must inquire into its extent. It is expressly extended to those forms and modes of proceeding in suits at common law which were used in the state courts in September, 1789, and were adopted by that act."<ref>[https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/23/1/case.html Wayman v. Southard 23 U.S. 1 (1825)]</ref>  The important points of the wording include ''must be entirely regulated by the legislature itself'', subjects of ''less interest'', and ''fill up the details''.  This affirmed the strict limits of [[Separation of Powers]] as they are built into the [[Constitution]].<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=0HtoBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT88 By the People: Rebuilding Liberty Without Permission]</ref>

This changed with [[J. W. Hampton, Jr. & Co. v. United States]].

In [[Marshall Field and Co. v.Clark]], the [[Supreme Court]] noted: "That Congress cannot delegate legislative power to the President is a principle universally recognized as vital to the integrity and maintenance of the system of government ordained by the Constitution."  This more affirmative language created the notion of a doctrine of nondelegation.

 

That changed with [[J. W. Hampton, Jr. & Co. v. United States]].
