"The emergence of administrative law, administrative technique and administrative process can be attributed to certain events of political history and the consequent social, and political conditions. The growing social consciousness of the age, the increasing complexities of administration and an incredible rise in the tempo of life caused by manifold application of science and technology to the habits of life are responsible for the growth and development of administrative law, the administrative technique and the administrative process.

In the early 19the century, Austin regarded administrative law as determining "the ends and modes to ends in which sovereign powers shall be exercised directly by monarch or sovereign members shall be exercised directly by subordinate political superiors to whom portions of those powers are delegated or committed in trust.""
