  1. Pertaining to administration; executive; administering. The production and distribution of wealth, the growth and effect of administrative machinery, the education of the race, these are cases of general laws which constitute the science of sociology. W. K. Clifford, Lect., II. 284. Sometimes the term Executive, which strictly means an Authority which puts the laws in force, is opposed to the term Administrative, which implies the performance of every other sort of immediate Governmental act, such as collecting taxes, organizing and directing the Army, Navy, and Police, supervising trade, locomotion, postal communication, and carrying out in detail legislative measures for promoting public health, education, morality, and general contentment. S. Amos, Sci. of Pol., p. 99.
