Congress enacts a law granting a federal body the authority to oversee financial regulations, providing only general objectives such as 'maintain market stability and protect consumers.' Which of the following best illustrates a violation of the Nondelegation doctrine?
The statute bases the agency's actions on the Commerce Clause.
The statute offers minimal criteria for the agency to develop specific financial regulations.
The statute restricts the agency's authority to enforce existing financial laws.
The statute outlines detailed procedures the agency must follow in issuing regulations.
The correct answer demonstrates that Congress has not provided sufficient specific criteria for the agency to create financial regulations, which is required under the Nondelegation doctrine. This lack of detailed guidance makes the delegation of legislative power unconstitutional. The other options either show adequate delegation with clear guidelines or pertain to different constitutional principles.
