Delegating authority in public law is not a rule, but being an exception does not reduce of it`s important. According to the two-way discourse of public law -normativeism and functionalism- in addition to preventing the concentration of power, it also accelerates affairs and improves effective administrative relations. Although in the discussion of delegation of authority, the views are mostly focused on administrative rights, but in constitutional rights and especially the value system, delegation of authority is an important matter, which we call ascending delegation of authority. This issue can be investigated in modernity by understanding the critic's self-founding reason in the form of social contract theory and delegation of public power from the people to the ruling body.

The rule of law requires that in the administrative system, the principle is based on the authority of the individual, and the delegation of authority is an exception, because every official receives his authority from the law, and its delegation also requires the prescription of the law. Also, the administrative authority who cannot delegate all his powers and only a part of the powers that are not prohibited by law can be delegated. The main question of this article is what and the legal effects of delegation in the light of the principles of public law. In this article, the conditions and limitations of delegation of authority in public law have been examined through a descriptive-analytical method. Delegation of authority is an inevitable necessity in public law, which can be examined at two levels of constitutional law based on the theory of representation and in the field of administrative law.
