G7

1a. Congress gives the agencies power because since they're smaller and more compact, they're able to get more things. Congress gives agencies power to execute federal laws, since they lack the necessary people to execute laws. Not only does this save congress time, but it prevents the group from getting the blame if something goes sour. Another reason is groups are simply more efficient. Since they're made in order to follow through on a few specific things, problems will be solved in a much quicker fashion.

2a. Environmental Protection Agency: EPA: the basic objective of the EPA is to protect the environment. They can send out information, hold conferences, and spread awareness concerning the world.

FCC: Federal Communications Commissionn: determines what is able to be broadcasted on airwaves, such as the television and radio. The FCC can make laws in order to maintain a certain level of cleanliness on air.

Federal Reserve Board:
The federal reserve board regulates money and is the important bank for the United States as a whole, more important than individual banks such as Wells Fargo or BBT. They're able to manage the money supply for the US.

3a. Congress uses oversight committees , and these committees allocate money to different groups. In order to make sure that groups follow legislative orders, they give the groups money. If they do not follow the orders or go through on what they said they would, congress can simply stop allocating money to the groups. By providing groups with a budget, the groups have little leeway to make mistakes and go off the rail. Another example is the fact that congress oversees all the actions of the groups.
