The Administrative Procedure Act (APA), Pub.L. 79–404, 60 Stat. 237, was enacted June 11, 1946. It is the UNITED STATES federal statute that governs the way in which Agencies of the Fourth Branch of THE U.S. Federal Government called the ADMINISTRATIVE STATE may propose and establish regulations. It grants U.S. federal courts oversight over all agency actions. It formalizes the establishment of this seditious, treasonous and unconstitutional Progressive Globalist Elites', Fourth Branch of U.S. Government.

This Fourth Branch of Government known as the Administrative State was established under Progressive President Woodrow Wilson (Pages 40-49, "Illiberal Reformers: Race, Eugenics and American Economics in the Progressive Era" 2016 by hardcore, practicing Progressive Professor, Thomas Paine. The Administrative State was created premised on the Progressive Globalist Elite's assertion that the masses are too stupid to govern themselves. (Pages 51-53, Ibid.) and that the concept of unalienable Natural Rights of the Individual was "nonsense" (Pages 24-25, Ibid).

This Fourth Branch was inserted between the original three branches of government and WE THE PEOPLE, to reduce governments' accountability to the allegedly ignorant masses.

This Administrative State was the spearhead for the Progressive Elites' unconventional method of revolution they adopted from their UK Fabian Socialist allies. This new method of revolution is known as Gradualism or Permeation. This paradigm shift in revolution and warfare calls for slow, covert, incremental infiltration of the target society over generations so no one generation experiences enough change to be moved to resist, revolt or mount a counter-revolution. There was no "shot heard around the world" to mark the beginning of this revolution, unlike the original American Revolution. The who point of this nontraditional method of revolution is not to signal the individuals in the target society of the need to defend themselves by taking up arms.

The Administrative Procedure Act of 1946 was an incremental step forward in advancing the Progressive Globalist Agenda.
