NONDELEGATION AND NATIVE NATIONS |
56 Connecticut Law Review 1069 (May, 2024) |
There is no nondelegation doctrine for Native nations, nor should there be one even if the Supreme Court revives the nondelegation doctrine for federal agencies and private parties. The Court has never struck down a statute on the ground that it delegated legislative power to a Native nation. Instead, it has held that Congress may recognize the... |

2024 Pepperdine Law Review 43 (2024) |
Beginning in the 17th century, many American Indians owned enslaved African workers. They stopped only at the end of the Civil War, when several Tribal Nations signed treaties with the federal government requiring them to emancipate their enslaved workers. The treaties also required the Nations to enroll these Freedmen and their descendants as... |

However, different procedural... |
