Abstract

Administrative decision making in the exercise of delegated authority may be based on guidance by the higher authority or by the Westminster model of public administration in public institutions. It is guided by principles of good governance, rule of law, sovereignty, principles of fairness, equity, justice, and Islamic principles. When making administrative decisions, the person or body having the power of making a decision is not allowed to abuse the power. The decision can be deemed appropriate by the court or tribunal given the power to review the decision. Administrative decision making is therefore one of the very important functions that must be performed when the reservation of the right to be contrary to the principle of democracy. For this reason, the wrong decision making process is able to reduce the image of the entire sub-organ executive of the government within the society. Such as giving warning signals of more serious internal weaknesses in such institutions of government. Administrative decisions are laws made by an executive officer of an institution or country who utilizes the authority that has been given to them. Administrative decisions by executive officers of the government are often based on opinion and judgment according to the analysis of the situation, necessity, and public interest pursued. There are two main types of decisions made by the government: non-administrative and administrative decisions. Non-administrative decisions are legislation made by members of the parliament, cabinet, or government agencies who are granted the authority to frame laws. Only the legislature has the authority to make laws, but a bill shall not become a law without the formality of a parliamentary act in which federal and state legislature members vote in favor of it. The US court says the political branch of the government makes laws, the judicial branch interprets laws, and the president executes laws.
