AP US Government
Unit 2 – Branches of Government
Topic 2.13
What is an unintended consequence resulting from regulatory agencies' discretionary authority?
Discretionary authority in reality has no real impact on society or the economy at large because its effects are too minor to be observed.
The creation of regulations could inadvertently hinder economic growth due to increased operational costs for businesses.
Agencies might become too powerful and seize control of the government entirely.
As a result, democratic principles are always undermined when agencies exercise discretionary authority.
