"Government agencies are run directly by the government while government corporations are run independently."

Explanation: Agencies are typically departments or units within the executive branch, funded and controlled through the regular government budget and chain of command. Government corporations (e.g., USPS, Amtrak) operate more like businesses, often with their own boards, separate budgets, and greater operational autonomy while still being publicly owned.
