What were the various obstacles for the establishment of a limited and effective government in Mexico?

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Decades of PRI rule had left Mexican institutions ill adapted to the task of providing both limited and effective government.
• The existence of divided government where no single party had a majority to exercise control over the executive and legislative branches of government, which brought pluralism to politics but also legislative deadlock that prevented the adoption of necessary economic and social reforms.
• The judicial system was slow and inefficient and threatened by endemic corruption.
• Federalism was incapable of facilitating cooperation across levels of government on issues such as, revenue sharing and corruption, as several different parties held power at the state level.
• The electoral system which needed additional reforms to eliminate electoral corruption.
