I want to add a historical remark. Very early forms of human government, such as ancient kingdoms in various parts of the world, had one or a few prominent members of society hold full discretion and decision-making power. Later, we codified rules and decided that even monarchs are not above the law. Endowing the written laws with additional power by making them executable seems like a natural next step.
