Abstract

The Supreme Court recently overturned a 1984 decision, Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, which had granted government agencies significant powers to write rules and regulations without congressional approval. This decision, known as "Chevron deference," allowed agencies to determine the meaning of laws, undermining the separation of powers and leading to abuses. The Court's ruling restores the authority of the courts to interpret the law and challenges must be made to specific decisions made under Chevron. The article emphasizes the importance of the upcoming election in determining the future of executive power. [Extracted from the article]
