Bureaucracy Basics
Today, we begin our look at the federal bureaucracy and how it works to implement legislation passed by Congress or executive orders from the President. Our main questions for today are:
- What is the federal bureaucracy?
- What has led to the growth of the federal bureaucracy?
- What does the appointment process look like for the federal bureaucracy?
The bureaucracy is the part of the government (executive branch) that is responsible for enforcing and implementing the laws. There are various agencies, bureaus, departments, and commissions that have been established over the years to carry out these various tasks. Today, you will look at some of the more well known and relevant bureaucracies in our federal government.
Make a copy of this Google Document and fill in the appropriate information. You should be able to correctly describe/identify the policy area and types of legislation that the bureau/agency deals with. There will be a quiz over these bureaucracies on Wednesday!
