Question

The California leadership considered a proposal that would build a canal to bring water to the southern part of the state. The system of California leaders who carried out the work of the state government is known as a:

a. autocracy
b. legislature
c. bureaucracy

Answer 1

c. bureaucracy

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of California leaders who carried this work is a bureaucracy because they are people who belong to government agencies, but perform technical and skilled jobs (the kind of job needed for building a proposal to build a water canal) that do not necessarily depend on the political authority of a specific period.

In other words, bureaucrats are members of government agencies whose skills are valuable, and for that reason, most of them keep their jobs under different political administrations.
