The ethical foundations of American public administration
Article Abstract:
An analysis of the ethical basis governing Federal administration in the US is presented. It is shown that the American government covering the period from the US Republic to Andrew Jackson's term served under a Federalist recognition and was built on solid foundations of ethical and even actively religious considerations. However, its more modern counterparts have not been as well-recognized for such type of government.
