SourceUnited States administrative law
In the United States, the term administrative law is often used to describe the body of statutes (actual laws passed by Congress or a state legislature), as well as the administrative rules, regulations, judicial precedents, and executive orders that, collectively, define the powers and responsibilities held by administrative agencies of the United States government, including executive departments and independent agencies, and agencies operating at state and local level. The field of administrative law also includes the procedures which agencies must observe in rulemaking and adjudication. Because Congress, the president, and the federal courts have limited resources and cannot directly address all issues, specialized powers are often delegated to a board, commission, office, or other agency.

The rule of law is a political and legal principle that generally entails and ensures that the law is clear, consistent and open; individuals and groups have access to justice (such as fair, independent judiciaries); and that government institutions (such as the executive, legislature and judiciary) are subject to the law. It entails that all people and institutions within a political body are subject to the same law. This concept is sometimes stated simply as "no one is above the law" or "all are equal before the law".
