A quick definition of federal agency:

A federal agency is a group of people who work for the government to carry out specific tasks or responsibilities. They are like helpers who act on behalf of the government and have the power to make decisions and take actions that affect people and businesses. Federal agencies can be created by law or by the president, and they have to follow rules and regulations set by the government.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A federal agency is a fiduciary relationship created by express or implied contract or by law, in which one party (the agent) may act on behalf of another party (the principal) and bind that other party by words or actions. It is an organization established by the federal government to carry out specific functions and services.

Examples: Examples of federal agencies include the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Explanation: These agencies are created by the federal government to carry out specific functions and services. For example, the EPA is responsible for protecting human health and the environment by enforcing regulations and laws related to air and water quality. The FBI is responsible for investigating federal crimes and threats to national security. The IRS is responsible for collecting taxes and enforcing tax laws. These agencies act on behalf of the federal government and are authorized to carry out their duties on its behalf.

I know Hillsdale College has a reputation for being strange but I attended a cool religious law even there so would it be hurt me to put it in a statement given their rep? I don't want them to think I'm from the stone age :c

@GodsPlanUltimately: I would love to go to a Catholic based school and if you are looking for a religious based school as well, its helpful! I actually love Hillsdale but I am from the west coast and did not even know it existed until I met my bf

@misoissocute: I agree :) I'm actually are at a Jesuit Catholic school for undergrad and was invited to attend the event by a mentor in my program (I'm actually a theology and religious studies student). We have an early grand program so I'm not applying to a religious law school but I am trying to go to one that still values that perspective. :) It is a very secluded school though! :D lol
