Historians would likely characterize the use of executive orders for the first 100 years of American presidential history as relatively minimal. During this time period, presidents generally deferred to congressional lawmaking to address societal changes and issues. There were not as many significant changes or crises that required presidents to rely heavily on executive orders as a means of governing. Additionally, the concept of presidential power and the use of executive orders was not as well-established or widely used during this period compared to later years in American history. Overall, presidents during the first 100 years of American history did not rely heavily on executive orders as a primary means of governing.
