Discuss how the U.S. (a) size and (b) structure of government can make it difficult to enact policies
What will be an ideal response?
The government deals with complex issues, has more stakeholders involved, and is more involved in regulating businesses and issues that affect the everyday lives of the public (see answer to previous questions). The structure of government makes it more difficult to pass laws, slows things down, and is subject to influence and control by political parties. The federal system, characterized by shared powers and decentralization to the states, also complicates the situation.
