According to Goodnow, "Two distinct functions of government" are :

  • A.Politics and Administration
  • B.Administration and Management
  • C.Justice and Administration
  • D.Politics and Policy Formulation

Answer: A

Goodnow's two functions are Politics and Administration.

Frank J. Goodnow, in Politics and Administration (1900), argued that every government performs two distinct functions: politics, the expression of the will of the state through policy, and administration, the execution of that will. With Woodrow Wilson's essay of 1887, this is the classic statement of the politics-administration dichotomy on which early Public Administration was built.

Management is a part of administration, not a separate function of government; justice and policy formulation are not the pair Goodnow named, and policy formulation is itself part of what he called politics.
