Current Administrative State

The United States is in an administrative state where the executive branch administrative

agencies can formulate, adjudicate, and implement regulations. The administrative state is

supported by various pillars, including nondelegation, judicial acquiescence, executive control of

institutions, procedural rights, and agency dynamism ("Administrative state," (n.d.).). The

contemporary administrative state exists and is growing because federal agencies are capable of

managing emergencies, resolving severe social problems, or overseeing complicated matters of

governmental interest that are beyond the competence of legislators.

The administrative state through nondelegation allows lawmakers to delegate the role of

rulemaking to respective administrative agencies. This element has meant that serious social

concerns and complex government matters that are beyond the comprehension of legislators are

handled expeditiously by agencies with the necessary experience ("Administrative state," (n.d.).).

Furthermore, executive supervision over agencies has guaranteed that they do not act outside of

their authority. The executive has been granted the right to select and remove regulatory heads

working against a set goal. Therefore, the administrative exists because of its benefits in

addressing critical social problems promptly.

Nondelegation of lawmaking has led to the expansion and growth of the administrative

state. It is a necessary growth since the administrative state has ensured fast attention to complex

social concerns, the preservation of individual rights, the administration of federal social welfare

programs, and the enactment of health and safety standards ("Administrative state," (n.d.).).

Because of these advantages, the administrative state has been good, and I believe it has made

more services available to the public than ever before. The administrative state has also

improved the effectiveness of lawmakers through the delegation of complex regulations. The

administrative state is good for the country and should continue.

In conclusion, the administrative state exists to allow delegation of lawmaking to

administrative agencies and give executive control over these agencies. These aspects have bee

beneficial to American as it has ensured prompt address of complex social issues and solving of

complex matter beyond the expertise of legislators. These benefits have justified why the

administrative state still exists.
