From the founding of the United States, there has been skepticism about a centralized police force. This skepticism was influenced by the experience of being a colony under British rule, and, as a result, the framers of the Constitution ensured the legal rights of all citizens and policing takes place mostly on the state and local level. Even though Americans favored state and local law enforcement, the creation of a national government meant that a national law enforcement agency was needed. Early federal law enforcement agencies included the United States Marshal Service and the Postal Inspection Service. By the early 1900s, there were only a few federal law enforcement agencies in the United States. Since then, the number of federal law enforcement agencies has grown, and the jurisdiction of existing agencies has often expanded. Today, there are more than twenty different federal agencies, employing over 100,000 officers and agents.

"death. yes, death. and none of them knows or wishes to know it, and they have no pity for me. now they are playing." (he heard through the door the distant sound of a song and its accompaniment.) "it's all the same to them, but they will die too! fools! i first, and they later, but it will be the same for them. and now they are merry . . the beasts! " anger choked him and he was agonizingly, unbearably miserable. "it is impossible that all men have been doomed to suffer this awful horror! " he raised himself. "something must be wrong. i must calm myself—must think it all over from the beginning." and he again began thinking. "yes, the beginning of my illness: i knocked my side, but i was still quite well that day and the next. it hurt a little, then rather more. i saw the doctors, then followed despondency and anguish, more doctors, and i drew nearer to the abyss. my strength grew less and i kept coming nearer and nearer, and now i have wasted away and there is no light in my eyes.
