Who is ultimately in charge of the Bureaucracy?
The President of the United States, along with his Secretaries (the Cabinet), and the heads of independent agencies within the administration of the Federal government. The federal system of government established by the Constitution of the United States allows ordinary citizens many ways 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. It is one of the ways the citizen can access the government. 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.

Why did both side in the civil war want control of Kentucky?
