Question

How effective are the available controls to prevent possible misuse of power conferred on delegates of power

Answer 1

Delegated (also called enumerated or expressed) powers are specifically granted to the federal government in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. This includes the power to coin money, to regulate commerce, to declare war, to raise and maintain armed forces, and to establish a Post Office. To prevent possible misuse of the delegated power, certain controls are put in place. These controls include Control given under Delegated Legislation, which are Parliamentary or Legislative Control, Judicial Control, and Executive or Administrative Control. These controls are highly effective and can prevent the misuse of the power conferred on delegates of power.
