| Summary, etc. |
This article deals with the enduring problem of administrative discretion in the modern american democratic-constitutional state. In the American constitutional tradition, administrative action is legitimate when and only if it adheres to the rule of law. This implies that administrators must be able to link directly their actions to grants of authority in statutes or the constitution.

The result has been a seemingly perennial tension between the rule of law ideol and the modern administrative reality. Att |
