Laski attributes the rise of bureaucracy to several factors. Consider the following statements in this regard:
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.
3. Democracy aided in the rise and growth of bureaucracy by, first, obviating the possibility of maintaining a system whereby officials could constitute a permanent and hereditary caste and second, making it essential to have a body of experts in charge of a particular service.
4. The scale of the modern state and the vastness of the service it seeks to render make expert administration inevitable.
