The federal system of government established by the Constitution of the United States allows ordinary citizens many was to access government. The great increase in federal programs, beginning with the New Deal, called for an increase in the size of the bureaucracy. The bureaucracy is the organization of government administrators created to carry out legislation. The great majority of bureaucrats who are part of the civil service system are, for all practical purposes, beyond reach by elected officials. Each bureaucrat serves the department in which he/she works and can be fired only if certain steps are taken. So, in effect, the bureaucracy is controlled by the government that created it, and no one person, executive, or elected official.
