Case Study: Ethical Dilemma

Although the constitutions recognize only the three major branches of the government, it is

essential to note that the supreme court recognizes the legitimacy of the existence of the

federal administrative agencies. The federal administrative agencies have the mandate to

make rules that have the same binding effect as the statutes by Congress. The creation of the

independent administrative agencies was to ensure that the executive could not influence the

agencies' operations. Executive administrative agencies, on the contrary, is under the

influence of the executive because their members are appointees (Livermore, Michael A.,

Vladimir Eidelman, and Brian Grom.2017). Therefore, members of the executive

administrative agencies will work according to the executive's directive in fear of being

discharged. The case study needs to transform some administrative agencies, such as safety

and health administration agencies, small business administration, and veteran’s

administration, from the executive to the independent administrative agencies. This is

because the public will get the justice that the executive does not influence. For example,

those running small businesses may be frustrated by the executive administrative agencies if

their people in power have a vested interest. Therefore, if such an agency is transferred, the

decisions made by the independent agencies will not be biased because they are there to

protect those businesses. Also, the executive agencies can manipulate an agency for safety

and health to be a political tool as it has always been seen in the past. Transferring this

agency to the independent administrative agencies will work well for the citizens because if
the services are not delivered well, they can be sure the members without the influence of the

executive (Selin, Jennifer L., and David E. Lewis., 2018). However, the executive has

maintained the health agency because it is expensive to run the health sector. But if the funds

would be transferred to the independent agencies, more can be seen than under the executive

agencies. The executive agency heads must owe allegiance to the president. The resident is

the head of the executive, and he holds power to appoint and discharge the members of the

executive agency. In fear of discharge, the executive members always owe allegiance to the

president.
