Chapter 1
Introduction
CHAPTER OVERVIEW
Chapter 1 provides an introduction to administrative law. Administrative regulation is
omnipresent in American life. The high level of regulation is likely the result of many
factors, such as technological complexity, increases in population, and an increased
interdependence of the members of the American family. As a field of law,
administrative law is concerned with defining the duties and powers of administrative
agencies. More important, administrative law also defines the limits of agency powers.
Most agency structure and authority are defined by statute or executive order. Limitations
on agency authority can be found in statutes, executive orders, and, most prominently, the
AP
Constitution.
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
After completing this chapter, the student should be able to
• Define what administrative law is and isn’t.
• Identify and distinguish the sources of administrative law in the United States.
LU
• Describe the nature and complexity of the administrative state at the federal, state,
and local levels.
• Describe the various forms of agencies.
• Explain why the administrative state is larger today than at the time of the
adoption of the U.S. Constitution, and identify at least two ways administrative
S0
law impacts your life.
