institutions of the Ministry during the reign of Alexander the Great took place in close connection with the administrative reform.There are several prerequisites for contributing to the reform.Chief among them were the moral characteristics of the emperor and the people around him, the state of social and political life.
by peers, were produced before the accession of Alexander the Great, has not brought about in the administrative apparatus.The system lacked proper administrative framework.Fragmentation of cases occur often go to extremes, making the whole system a constant mess.In addition, there was no unity among the different departments of management.In this regard, clashes between the administrative apparatus.Moreover, ministers and directors, approved under Paul not only existed without supervision, but, due to lack of institutions, uniting their activities to justice is almost not involved.The situation was aggravated and a lot of unnecessary formalities during the production of cases that gave rise to one of the major ills of governance - the slowness.Under these conditions it was distributed various kinds of abuse, primarily graft.The administrative system is thus required serious changes.
At the very beginning of the reign of Alexander the Great were formed the first ministry and the State Council.Those principles that underlie the system began gradually replaced.Alexander I sought to establish a state in the fairness and justice by establishing a closer relationship with the administration.The establishment of ministries was supposed to perform on the Western example.It should be noted that in this area, as well as in others, the transformation were taken immediately.So, it took about ten years before the new system was relatively stable organization.
institutions of the Ministry Alexander I realized after many meetings with their environment.These meetings took place to discuss projects that were members of the committee.So, we discussed projects Novosiltsev Kochubei Chartorizhskogo and other figures.Particular attention was drawn to the proposal Novosiltsev.In accordance with his project involves the establishment of ministries and administration division into eight parts.Thus were formed the bodies of internal affairs, justice, the State Treasury, Finance, Education, foreign, military and naval affairs.In addition, second sovereign in the matter of the approval of the special department of commerce, Novosiltsev proposed to form it as a setting that would be in charge of customs, subjecting him to a commercial college.
It should be noted that in the basis of the proposal was the idea of figure on the approval of the Ministry, divided into the above-mentioned parts.Unity in the structure, according to Novosiltsev can be achieved with the formation of a separate organization reporting to the emperor.Before providing these reports to the king, they were to be discussed in the Committee of Ministers together.In addition, the committee was supposed to lead a discussion of current affairs.Cases of particular importance, should have been entered in the Council of State.
a result of numerous meetings in 1802, September 8 issued a decree on the establishment of ministries.For many officials, he came as a surprise.Mostly, this was due to the fact that all meetings were held in secret, with only very close to the emperor individuals.Because of this new decree stealth bought a lot of dissatisfied responses.
ultimate goal of establishing a new system was the elimination of the boards, the introduction of the principle of ministerial control.
