Abstract
A central insight motivates the essays in this dissertation: we cannot fully understand the actions of any given branch of government---the executive, the legislature, or the judiciary---without considering the inter-dependence of the branches. The behavior of any branch depends not only the attributes of the branch itself. It also depends on the behavior of the other branches of government. The essays analyze this motivating insight from three different angles. The first essay examines legislative rules from a separation of powers perspective; the second essay considers judicial decision-making in a separation of powers environment; and the third essay analyzes the legislature's decision to delegate authority to another branch of government.
