Government Corporations: Agency Of The Federal Government

The American Administrative Agencies are a series of Agencies that are controlled by the United States Government and combine traits from all three of the Government's Branches to make laws, execute laws and interpret laws and statues of the agencyi. As such, I feel that it holds a unique place in our Government and could be considered a Fourth Branch of Government not quite under control of any other branch. However, despite it's necessity for functioning of our current Government model, I feel that it is somewhat undemocratic and that certain steps should be taken in order to better maximize the peoples' voice inside the Administrative Agency. These steps include first making higher level employees have to be elected similar to the President

-A corporation is an organizational form that is a legal entity that declares the business as separate and distinct from its owners. It is directed by the board of directors who act as a single entity.

A public sector business is a business that usually composed of organisations that are owned and operated by the government (PrivacySense2015).

Suppose that Katherine, Brianna, and Paige have formed a limited partnership to operate a video arcade. Katherine is the general partner. She has contributed $2,000 and her time to get the operation running. Brianna and Paige, the limited partners, have each contributed $3,000. After one year of operation, the arcade has debts of $10,000, and the three partners decide to discontinue their business and the limited partnership. Brianna and Paige want their investment returned to them. Who should Katherine, who is winding up the business, pay first, Brianna and Paige, or the creditors? How much will Brianna and Paige receive? How about Katherine?

The government really played an important role in this by giving many incentives to the building of the rail lines. Chiefly among the incentives was the free use of Federal lands and cash loans for each mile of track built. Other incentives given were tax exemption, banking privileges, monopoly protection and tariff remission. (Transcontinental Railroads- Lecture slides). The government did this so that they build more rail tracks as much as possible. With these incentives in place for the railroad companies, about 164,000 miles of tracks and $9 billion have been invested already (The Railroad Frontier-Lecture

Objective of this paper is to discuss where the following agencies lie in the administrative structure of the federal government:

The construction of the transcontinental was a public/private partnership. The completion of the transcontinental railroad created a national economy. By 1900, there was not an area in the US that was not connected in some form by rail. The railroads transported consumer goods, people, supplies, and raw materials easily. The railroad allowed goods to be sold throughout the whole country, which in turn bolstered the US

Subsidies for transcontinental railroad - Congress decided the rail would take the north-central route and donated public land and sold bonds to finance it

Hi Gabriel, As you stated in your post the government did play a huge role in developing the railroad. Unfortunately, they also help to extinguish native Indians by killing off the buffalos, which were their primary source of surviving. The buffalos provided not only food but clothing and shelter for the American

Initially railroads were founded by the government. They were responsible for the successful expansion of society towards the western part of the united states. Railroads were the backbone of the primary economic priorities of businesses such as finance, supply, transportation and management which helped build our country into the logistical success it is today.

Overland route, which was previously referred to as Pacific railroad is 3500 miles long. The main funder of the railroad was the US government through the offering of higher loans and bonds (Healey 460). Also, the government offered land grants for usage in the construction. 1830 was the first time that a locomotive set off in the railroads, and that sparked the development of the rail network in the country.

Are we as American citizens receiving what we expect from our government or are we demanding too much from it. It seems that over the last several years we have demanded that our government has to find ways of doing more with less. As a result of the ever-increasing demands our government is forced to face, according to Professor Paul C. Light, the American government is ill executed and the federal service is less energetic than ever before (Paul, 2008). Thus, it seems that we as Americans are not getting what we expect from our government. It is overworked; load with bureaucratic problems, forcing federal service workers to more with less. However problematic our government is, through out its history, it has created many different

The United States government was created by the founding fathers to allow men to be free, but to also have a governmental system that protects that freedom as well. The United States government is problematic. It goes above and beyond the necessity and, because of this, is dysfunctional at best. The government today has gone beyond protecting the rights of American citizens. It has become a large entity that is wholly useless. The government of the United States is too large, therefore, this creates many problems with things like governmental overreach and extreme inefficiency. A smaller government would be more functional and could return to a more efficient, and likely constitutional basis of existence. It may be difficult to move to a smaller government if the United States cannot figure out a good way to do this.

A corporation is independently owned by shareholders; they are larger companies with multiple employees. Some examples of corporations would be; airline companies, soda companies, Google, Hasbro and many more. A conglomerate is a large corporation that has several smaller companies. Business associated with a conglomerate are unrelated and offer different products or services. "John Rockefeller of Standard Oil, Alfred Sloan of General Motors and Gerald Swope of General Electric are some of the business tycoons credited with revolutionizing business practices, which contributed to the organization of today’s conglomerates."(Keefer).

The organization overall of the federal government’s bureaucracy are in three categories, Government Corporations, Independent Agencies, and Regulatory Agencies. Although there are five different categories within the Bureaucracy, Cabinet Departments, Independent executive agencies, Independent regulatory agencies, Government corporations, Presidential commissions, we will be only discussing three overall organizations.
