US Supreme Court Essay

The Constitution created a government to take on important responsibilities, which necessitated the creation of departments, bureaus, and agencies (the bureaucracy).  Consider your own experiences and reflect on the textbook to offer a strength and a weakness of a federal bureaucracy entity as it exists today.  Be specific with your examples.  Consider the following questions in your post.  What is the goal of the government entity?  What causes it to succeed or fail?  What changes might you make so that it is more successful?
