Administrative Agencies
Administrative agencies are lawmaking bodies with limited powers delegated by Congress. Administrative agencies specialize in specific issues that require expertise. Administrative agencies are established by Article 1 Section1 of the federal constitution which reads: “ [ a]ll legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States.” The “necessary-and-proper” clause in the eighth section of the Article 1 states that the Congress shall have power “ [t]o make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers … in any Department or Officer thereof.” The rules and regulations created by administrative agencies can be enforced as law. The agencies help in the speedy disposal of cases, both minor and complex and thus are a big aid to US courts. The process also helps in reserving judicial resources for other significant cases. The members of administrative agencies are experts in the respective subject area. Administrative agencies can create their own rules and regulations.
