Abstract

The Constitution as we understand it includes principles that have emerged over time in a common law fashion. One such principle is the dis posing power of the legislature?the understanding that only the legislature has the power to arrange, order, and distribute the power to act with the force of law among the different institutions of society. This Essay illustrates the gradual emergence of the disposing power in criminal, civil, and administra tive law, and offers some reasons why it is appropriate that the legislature be given this exclusive authority. One implication of the disposing power is that another type of constitutional common law?the power of courts to pre scribe rules inspired by the Constitution but subject to legislative revision, as described in Professor Henry Monaghan fs pathbreaking 1975 Harvard Law Review Foreword?may in fact be unconstitutional in many of its applications.
立法机关的处置权
我们所理解的宪法包括了随着时间的推移以普通法的形式出现的原则。其中一个原则就是立法机关的裁断权。认识到只有立法机关才有权在不同的社会机构之间安排、命令和分配具有法律效力的权力。本文阐述了处置权在刑法、民法和行政法中逐渐出现的过程,并提出了赋予立法机关这种排他性权力的合理性。处置权的一个含义是另一种宪法普通法?正如亨利·莫纳汉教授在1975年开创性的《哈佛法律评论前言》中所描述的那样,法院制定受宪法启发但受制于立法修订的规则的权力?可能在很多情况下都是违宪的。
