10. Does the Separation of Powers Justify the Major Questions Doctrine, by David M. Driesen [CJW Update 10/7/22: This draft paper was previously titled The Political Economy of the Major Questions Doctrine, but Professor Driesen submitted to SSRN an updated version of the paper with a new title, which SSRN posted as a new paper. So I’ve linked to the new version of the paper in this post.]
