Delegation of powers, in law, the transfer of authority by one person or group to another person or group. For example, the U.S. Congress may create government agencies to which it delegates authority to promulgate and enforce regulations pursuant to law. More specifically, in U.S. constitutional law, delegation of powers refers to the different powers granted respectively to each of three branches of government—executive, legislative, and judicial. Exercise by one branch of a power delegated to another violates the separation of powers provided for in the Constitution; i.e., it is unconstitutional. Constitutional powers may be classified as enumerated, implied, inherent, resulting, or sovereign—designations that explain the nature of a given power, its origin, and its scope of influence.

The Legislative cannot transfer the Power of Making Laws to any other hands. For it being but a delegated Power from the People, they, who have it, cannot pass it over to others…And when the people have said, We will submit to rules, and be govern’d by Laws made by such Men, and in such Forms, no Body else can say other Men shall make Laws for them; nor can the people be bound by any Laws but such as are Enacted by those, whom they have Chosen, and Authorised to make Laws for them. The power of the Legislative being derived from the People by a positive voluntary Grant and Institution, can be no other, than what the positive Grant conveyed, which being only to make Laws, and not to make Legislators, the Legislative can have no power to transfer their Authority of making laws, and place it in other hands.

Unconstitutional refers to a government action which is in violation of the authority and rights defined and granted in the government's constitution. Most constitutions set forth the powers of governments, so that the constitution normally applies only to government actions. An action of state or federal governments, through any of its agencies and bodies, is subject to constitutional limits, and only governments can violate the nation's constitution..
