Rulemaking

For example, one weakness is that there is too much extra information. While reading the book, a reader will encounter well over a hundred named characters. Nobody needs or cares about the names of insignificant characters. Also, there is too much extra information about where the characters work and the story line. A reader could understand the book without all the extra “fluff” information.

     While reading this book I found myself making notes on how I disagree with certain topics but I didn’t realize until I was about half way through that there were many good points made. Some of the good points I did notice can be found in every chapter

I have examined the book and my objections to it are these: It deals with a series of adventures of a very low grade of morality; it is couched in the language of a rough, ignorant dialect, and all through its pages there is a systematic use of bad grammar and an employment of rough, coarse, inelegant expressions. It is also very irreverent.

According to Cornelius Kerwin, "Rulemaking is the single most important function performed by agencies of government…Rulemaking refines, and in some instances defines, the mission of every government agency. In so doing it provides direction and content from budgeting, program implementation, procurement, personnel management, dispute resolution, and other important government activities" (Preface XI). This is the foundation for the book, Rulemaking. The whole text primarily revolves around this statement. Throughout the book Kerwin's central theme is that rulemaking is the single most important function that any government agency has within its possession. Much like other admin law books he discusses how those agencies with their

Lawmakers get elected and stay elected without working in the public’s interest. In Chapter 10, it says Congress is the least popular branch of government because people think Congress members “spend more time thinking about their own political futures than they do in passing legislation.” But, voters return members of Congress to their jobs when they have so little approval for them because a majority of voters think that their own representatives deserve reelection. If their own representatives can deal with local concerns or even personal problems, voters also think that they can deal with national issues. But, Congress members end up dropping the ball because they spend too much of their time on constituent

In the listening passage, the professor criticizes the American election because this system, in some cases, does not represent a real democracy. It is possible that an election does not represent the major votes of the population. Although the popular vote has significance, the delegation that

In his essay, Stephen L. Carter talks about the concept of integrity. He begins his essay with the story that took place in his early childhood when he faced the distinguishing of “right” and “wrong” for the first time. Carter experienced a shame of being a cheater, which stayed with him throughout his life. As a child, he cheated to win, and as he says, nowadays it’s much more important in our society to win than to play fair, and it is a big problem. It’s easier for people to say what others want to hear rather than what they actually mean. Talking about the whole shame for lie concept he mentions that no one wants to experience the embarrassment, but often we still choose to lie

Some people may argue that the government should not be involved in food waste management because they ironically are already wasting thousands of pounds of food and money trying to prevent food waste from happening. In “Rules Won’t Do Much Good” by Gregory Conko, he argues the pointlessness of government involvement because the government spends money making sure food production sites are clean and sanitary, yet they still recall large amounts of food because of “unsanitary working conditions” or “improper procedure” (Conko). Some people find irony in the government getting involved with food management, when the rules and regulations they implement aren’t doing any good by preventing food waste from occurring. While Conko and other critics

In NFIB, the plaintiffs requested a preliminary injunction on the DOL’s new persuader rule (the “New Rule”). The court granted the plaintiffs’ request for the following reasons: (1) the plaintiffs showed a substantial likelihood that challenging a new would succeed on the merits; (2) the plaintiffs showed that the New Rule creates a substantial threat of irreparable harm; (3) the threatened injury to the plaintiffs outweighs any harm to the DOL; and (4) enjoining the DOL’s implementation of the New Rule will not be a disserve to the public interest.

These reasons and many more are essentially the foundation for why this book has been challenged numerous

Federal regulation, like taxing and spending, is one of the basic tools ofgovernment used to implement public policy. Although not as frequently examinedas congressional or presidential policy making, the process of developing andframing rules is viewed by some as central to the definition and implementation ofpublic policy in the United States. Regulations generally start with an act ofCongress, and are the means by which statutes are implemented and specificrequirements are established. The terms “rule” or “regulation” are often usedinterchangeably in discussions of the federal regulatory process. The AdministrativeProcedure Act of 1946 defines a rule as “the whole or part of an agency statement ofgeneral or particular applicability and

Bureaucracy involves non-elected agents that are often seen as the “worker bees” of government such as those in civil service. They execute the law through an organized structure that maintains specific functions, rules, and procedures. They must not be taken for granted. One example of the use of regulations would be the FDA’s role to ensure American health through appropriate regulation of new medication. Through the effective hierarchal organization, duties are completed faster and more efficiently. Some also argue that bureaucracy decreases room for favoritism and all have equal opportunity. For example, all students applying for loans will have their application reviewed, thus creating an equal opportunity for all. Similarly, bureaucracy allows for the hiring of expert officials who show merit and gives the opportunity to be promoted. While they are not involved the process of policy

Chapter eight of “Essentials of American Government Roots and Reform” describes the federal bureaucracy and its function within the federal government. The book defines the federal bureaucracy as “the thousands of federal government agencies and institutions that implement and administer federal laws and programs.” I argue that while the federal bureaucracy is necessary for some functions, in other ways it has grown too large and burdensome, and the individual agencies’ function and power should be narrowed and reduced.

Firstly, the book is very clear and to the point. This allows the reader to grasp her points and opinions easily, the author is an excellent writer, and that she has knowledge in the area being discussed. This can be seen very well in the introduction, where she states what the seven chapters in her book will be discussing. More importantly, she states which chapter she is going to discuss in the paragraph, and what it will

Rules are established by specific agencies that work with those being controlled i.e. businesses and other organizations, individuals that are concerned by the existence or nonexistence of guidelines and those who are alarmed about detailed subjects like food safety regulations. Primarily in all cases or instances, an agency is directed to make a rule by Congress or a court order. There are times when a rule will be created in reply to a petition filed by an interest group, a group of individuals or a citizen who feels the need for change. Federal agencies are obligated to answer to all petitions for rulemakings within a certain period of time.
