1. Bureaucracy arose as a by-product of aristocracy. Historically, a disinclination on the part of the aristocracy for active government has in some cases led to the transfer of power into the hands of permanent officials.
2. The origin of bureaucracy may be traced to the desire of the crown to have a body of personal servants who may be set-off against the appetite of the aristocracy for power.

4. The scale of the modern state and the vastness of the service it seeks to render make expert administration inevitable.
