The structure of government profoundly affects public policy effectiveness through the distribution of powers and responsibilities among branches and levels. A well-defined system promotes accountability, transparency, and participation, enabling effective policy implementation. Conversely, bureaucratic inefficiencies and complex layers can hinder responsiveness and slow decision-making processes. Moreover, varying structures—such as federal vs. unitary systems—impact how policies are created, enforced, and adapted. Thus, the governmental framework plays a critical role in determining how well policies address constituents' needs and align with societal goals.
