Lesson 2.13: Bureaucratic Rule Making Authority
Enduring Understanding:
The federal bureaucracy is a powerful institution implementing federal policies with sometimes questionable accountability.Learning Objectives:
Explain how the federal bureaucracy uses delegated discretionary authority for rule making and implementation.
Essential Knowledge:
Discretionary and rule-making authority to implement policy are given to bureaucratic departments, agencies, and commissions, such as:
- Department of Homeland Security
- Department of Transportation
- Department of Veterans Affairs
- Department of Education
- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
- Federal Elections Commission (FEC)
- Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Activity # 1:
The AP Government curriculum requires that students become familiar with seven of the agencies within the federal bureaucracy. This is great news! Instead of guessing which of the agencies might show up on the exam, we know which seven we need to understand. Below are six of the agencies; the seventh, the FEC, will be covered in our elections unit. For each of these agencies, identify the type of agency that it is, and the main job of the agency.
