1. Explain The Structure Of The Federal Judicial System

1. Explain the structure of the federal judicial system. What are the responsibilities of each part of the system? The federal judicial system can be said to be federal courts with limited jurisdiction. This means that they are only allowed to hear cases that have been authorized by the United States Constitution or the federal statutes. The federal judicial system has 3 levels of the federal court system. This is the U.S Supreme Court, the U.S Courts of Appeals and the U.S. District Courts. The U.S District Courts are courts that have jurisdiction in cases that have to do with both civil and criminal actions. The civil actions must have arisen from violation of a person’s constitutional rights. That is a violation of the law of the United
States (Person, 2013). When it comes to criminal cases, it is only applicable if the case occurs only if the United States is a party to the suit. Be it a civil or criminal case, the judge has to determine issues that have to do with the law while the jury determines the findings of facts. The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has the jurisdiction where one or both of the parties are dissatisfied with the judgments in the U.S District. The U.S Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States. The court only deals with the matters of state, national importance or even appeals from the appellate court.
2. How does the federal bureaucracy implement the policy within the federal government? Give a specific example. Where does the bureaucracy get its power?
The main function of bureaucracy is policy implementation.
Bureaucrats are responsible for putting government policies into practice. Which make the federal government have a large impact when it comes to policymaking. Government policies are put in place by the bureaucrat, which makes the federal government have a large impact when it comes to policymaking. The president and the Congress have to work together with the bureaucracy so as to get their policies passed (Amy, n.d.). The federal government normally has three main tasks, that is implementation, administration, and regulation. Once a Congress has laid down a law it has set guidelines that have to be followed to carry out the new policies. Putting the policies into practice is what is referred to as implementation. The federal bureaucracy also makes regulations, though these regulations can be challenged by the court. The process of making the regulation is referred to as rulemaking. An example of how the federal bureaucracy implements a policy in the federal government is the Postal Service‘s balance of both income and expenditure. Bureaucracy normally gets its power from the clientele groups, expertise and also friends who are in high places (Person, 2013). During implementation, the president carries out the authoritative
decisions.
3. Describe the process by which the federal budget is developed.
Most of the people are of the belief that the federal budget process is too complex but they cannot understand. Some even think that it does not help in solving the challenges that they have. The vision of democracy is to make sure that the federal budget can show the values of most of the Americans. The process involves several steps, to start with the president’s budget approval. The president has to submit a detailed budget for the fiscal year. The Congress is able to know what the president recommends for the federal fiscal policy (Person, 2013).
It has three main components, the first is the amount of money that the government should spend on public purposes, and the second is, how much money should be taken as tax revenue and the amount of deficit that the federal government should run. The second step is the congressional budget resolution. The Congress holds hearings where they question the administration officials of their requests. The next step is enacting budget legislation; the Congress has to consider the annual appropriations bills that are used to fund discretionary programs in the year to come. After that, the terms of the budget are enforced. The budget reconciliation process kicks off after this.
4. Who holds the federal bureaucracies accountable for their actions? How are they held accountable?
Bureaucratic accountability is the process by which the government holds the bureaucracy responsible for their actions and also their performances. The bureaucratic is an administrative organization that oversees the day to day activities of the government. This makes it have a lot of power. Bureaucracy, therefore, faces a lot of risks, such as waste, duplication, and imperialism among others. This, therefore, necessitates the need for accountability which helps to given proper analysis of the sectors involved in the government (Person, 2013). The government, the courts, and the president are the main people in charge of the bureaucratic accountability.
The president has several powers when it comes to this, he or he can appoint the 4,000 high-level bureaucrats.
The president also has the power to rearrange the agencies and the departments of the bureaucratic as he sees fit. The office of management and budget also helps the president to keep an eye on the bureaucracy. The Congress assists the president in overseeing things. For instance, it creates the bureaucratic departments and agencies, creates the bureaucratic budget, reprimands the officials if there is a need to and approves or rejects the new programs among others. The role of the court is smaller; they can force the agencies to behave in accordance with the
legislation.
