ABSTRACT
The function of executing the will of the state has been called administration. This function, it has been shown, must be subjected to the control of politics, if it is to be hoped that the expressed will of the state shall be executed, and thus become an actual rule of conduct. The function of administration apart from its judicial side may be called the administration of government. Many laws passed by the lawgiving authority of the state are of such a character that they merely express the will of the state as a general rule of conduct. Judicial authorities are unfitted for the performance of the duties because such performance requires the possession of considerable technical knowledge. The election of any of the officers of the government cannot, further, be had without most important action on the part of governmental authorities.
