Administrative State

The administrative state refers to the system where government agencies and departments create and enforce rules, regulations, and policies to manage different areas of society and the economy. These agencies have specialized expertise and authority to implement laws passed by elected officials, ensuring effective regulation and administration. While this helps address complex issues efficiently, it also raises concerns about accountability and the scope of government power beyond the legislative branch. Essentially, the administrative state is the layer of bureaucracy that translates broad laws into specific, actionable rules to maintain order and public welfare.
