Bonus Random Question: (you can complete this only if you have time if not don’t worry about it, I know three hours isn’t much to answer the following questions with all the material required to read and use) Thank you!!
The President of the United States is the chief executive of the nation’s largest bureaucracy. These departments, agencies, bureaus, and offices perform the functions of government. They implement the law. The bureaucracy has grown so large, in fact, that some refer to it as the “Fourth Branch of Government.” Is this a good thing? Is the size of the bureaucracy counterproductive? Or is it a necessary colossus for delivering value to citizens?
I got a really bad grade on my last quiz I also submitted through here so it’d be great if you could make sure the answers are correct
