Administrative law, also referred to as regulatory law, governs the regulation and
administration of state and Federal agencies and their procedures. The purpose of administrative law is to protect
public interest, making it a branch of public law that serves to create laws and rules, make judgment based on
those laws, and enforce the laws by means of restitution that is appropriate to the crime. Examples of the
agencies that create and enforce administrative law are the Federal Communications Commission and the Department
of Labor. The President's duties are also considered administrative law. Administrative law touches on the
relationship between the agencies of the government and society as a whole. These Federal government agencies
derive their power from Congress, follow the Federal Administrative Procedure Act (FAPA) as a primary source for
their mandates, and thereby adhere to the Constitution of the United States. The agencies of individual states are
regulated by their state legislatures in a similar manner.
