Sections For Executive Branch Bureaucracies

In a government, bureaucracy refers to a body responsible for policy-making administration. They are complex institutions made to perform particular tasks. Keeping the discussion confined to the United States, the bureaucracy has a much higher level of autonomy as compared to other countries. The probable reason behind this is the amount of budget dedicated to this legislative body; according to 2015, the budget allocation for bureaucracy was $3.5 trillion. There are three sections for executive branch bureaucracies, and we will discuss each one of them.

1. Cabinet Departments
   They are the most significant administrative units in the bureaucratic sections which are assigned the responsibility of large governmental operations. Some of the examples include foreign policy making carried out by the Department of States and enforcement of law carried out by the Department of Justice in the US. Each department has a secretary appointed by the President. All the units that lie under the Cabinet are structured hierarchically and include various dimensions like offices, bureaus, divisions, etc.
2. Independent Agencies
   Independent agencies are either regulatory or executive. The independent executive agencies are appointed for more focused tasks, and the heads of each agency are appointed by the President. IA is responsible for providing particular services and information to the government. Examples of IA include the CIA (management of intelligence for national interest), NASA (management and exploration of space), etc. On the other hand, independent regulatory agencies are bound to control the cost and benefits of industrialization, for example, FCC, FTC, etc.
3. Government Corporations
   The agencies established by the federal government to manage private business enterprises are Government Corporations. They work to provide services for national interests and aim at generating maximum profit for the self-sustainability of the US. GC works with the board of managers and directors. Examples include the US Postal Service, Amtrak, etc.
