Question by ??????: What's the difference between "enforce the law" and "administer the law"?
What's the difference between "enforce the law" and "administer the law"? Is it that some enforce the law and others administer the law? Or one is spoken English, the other formal?
Best answer:
Answer by Tarragon
A policeman ENFORCES the law. (makes sure it's followed)
The Government ADMINISTERS the law. (writes and amends the law)
The Judiciary has a role, to a degree, in both enforcing and administering the law (because, professionally, it shuold understand the whole of law better than Government).
They are quite separate functions.
