Its hierarchical organization allows for clear lines of authority and accountability, facilitating effective administration and coordination across various functions. The bureaucracy operates under a set of rules and procedures designed to ensure efficiency, consistency, and adherence to legal standards, enabling it to respond to the complex demands of governance. This structure also allows for expertise in specific areas, ensuring that policy implementation is informed by knowledgeable professionals.
