This article examines American regulatory policy over the past century and the factors that have affected its development. Among the trends analyzed are the movement away from independent regulatory commissions, the larger role played by the institutional presidency vis‐a‐vis the Congress in the regulatory arena, and the growing resistance of states and localities to national government regulation and “unfunded mandates.”
