Issues that affect the political process itself are called structural issues. Structural changes are very important because they affect the efficiency and purity of the political process. If the process becomes inefficient or corrupt, it wastes a lot of money and resources and causes a lot of harm and misery to Americans. Structural problems eventually affect almost every other political issue as well because they slow down or corrupt the process. That’s why we are highlighting these structural issues.
