Q16: Who makes federal laws?

Discover who makes federal laws in the United States and how the process has evolved since the Constitution was crafted. Article I of the Constitution establishes that Congress, consisting of the House of Representatives and the Senate, is responsible for creating federal laws. However, the landscape has changed dramatically since 1790 -- from a modest 1,000 federal employees to a sprawling network of nearly two million today, many of whom work in various federal agencies rather than the three branches of government. These agencies, often referred to as the fourth branch, exert significant influence by issuing regulations that carry the force of law. In 2019 alone, while Congress passed 105 laws, federal agencies issued almost 3,000 regulations. This shift raises questions about accountability and the balance of power originally intended by the Framers, who sought to prevent any single body from wielding excessive power. Even Chief Justice John Roberts has cautioned against the growing power of the administrative state. Yet, despite these changes, the Constitution still designates Congress as the primary legislative body. Check out more videos like this in our Civics Fundamentals series with Judge Douglas Ginsburg.
