After the US Civil War, president Lincoln started the process of reunification of the country. This is known as the Reconstruction era, when former rebellious Southern States were integrated back into the Union.
But, in 1865, president Lincoln was assassinated, and his vice president Andrew Johnson took power and drove the country into the reunification. Johnson wanted to reunite the country as quickly as possible, he pardoned the Southerners in a large numbers, and provided these states with a clear path to readmission.
He returned them their property, while the former slaves were excluded, and in return, he asked that they affirm the support of the United States Constitution. But he rejected the proposal that the federal government should provide the voting rights for freed slaves.
By 1866, he announced the end of Reconstruction.
Federal and State agencies put into practice the laws that legislatures pass. This is important as most laws define the broad strokes of what is hoped to be accomplished. So, agencies then step in and fill in the games. They have the authority to think creatively when filling in the gaps but they are also unelected.
So, federal and state agencies exist as unelected executors of law, with all that that encompasses from filling in gaps to determining and applying sanctions.

A limited government is that in which everyone including the ruling class are subject to the law of the state. The Philippines is a democratic country where the leader and people's representatives are elected through popular vote. </span>
The author's name is Upton Sinclair.
Upton Sinclair was an American journalist and novelist. <em>'The Jungle', </em>published in 1905, exposed the harsh reality of immigrants in the United States, particularly those who worked in the meat industry.
Sinclair describes the appealing conditions in meat packing plants in the USA as a way to advance socialism. The book concentrates around the life of a Lithuanian immigrant family who came to the USA to live the American dream. It portrays working class poverty, the lack of social supports, harsh living and working conditions in the factories.
"The Jungle" did not live up to its author's expectations as most readers were more concerned about the quality of meat being packed in the factories, health violations and unsanitary practices, than the plight of the workers. This public outcry led to the creation of the Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1906.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The perspective, or paradigm, that I think is the most interesting way to view and observe social interactions is the following.
I consider that the most interesting perspective is the functionalist perspective. This perspective sees every aspect of society as an independent component that when joined together with the other components, makes society function as a whole. All the elements of society play an important role or exert a key function that can be related to other functions.
Some sociologists have established the concept of the social contract to show that these social components should be in balance in order for society to work well.
Members of society share norms, customs, perceptions, and ideas and intermingle respecting and being tolerant with all of these ideas.
