Agencies shaping American constitution, expanding power at public's expense.
Administrative agencies play a significant role in shaping constitutional rules and norms in the US. Scholars have identified three types of administrative constitutionalism: engaging with existing constitutional doctrine, resolving statutory issues with constitutional implications, and shadow constitutionalism. Some believe agencies lean towards progressive goals, but this isn't always the case. Giving agencies too much autonomy may lead to them expanding their power without considering other factors.
