JUDICIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROL OF COUNTY OFFICERS

Abstract

State control over county government in the United States is based on constitutional and statutory provisions. Following the earlier English practice, such provisions were for a long time applied mainly by proceedings before the judicial courts; and this judicial action remains the principal means of making effective the constitutional and legislative restrictions. But in later years there has developed a considerable measure of administrative supervision over county and other local authorities. To understand the existing relations between the state and county government requires consideration of the agencies and methods of judicial and administrative control.
