Explanation: I hope this helps- The Federal Bureaucracy is the unelected, administrative body in the Executive Branch. It is the back bone of the US Government. It is arranged into departments, agencies and commissions.

The main function of the Federal Bureaucracy, is to carry out the policy and work on the finer details of the bills passed by Congress. The bureaucracy has 2.7 million employees, has a $13.8 billion payroll, and is divided into roughly 900 departments. Of all the employees in Washing DC, 11% of the them will work for the Federal Bureaucracy.

The bureaucracy itself can be roughly divided into four groups:

Executive Departments

Department of the Treasury

Executive Agencies

Federal Bureau of Investigation

Independent Regulatory Commissions

Federal Election Commission

Government Corporations

United States Postal ServiceHowever there can be problems of the bureaucracy. There are three main criticisms of the Federal Bureaucracy.

Clientelism

Imperialism

Agencies seek to expand their own power at the expense of other agencies

Agencies can become involved in a turf battle.

Incrementalism

Agencies may act slowly and cautiously, with a natural resistance to change.

This argument is one that is very similar to the UK Civil Service.
