Bureaucracy makes modern government possible because

it removes politics from the policy$-$planning, rule$-$making, and implementation process.

modern government requires the shuffling of millions of pieces of paper, which requires organizing and coordinating workers.

it takes the power to implement policy from the hands of corrupt politicians and places it in the hands of skilled professionals.

it allows a means of efficiently delivering or providing public goods and services, as well as a way for officials to make credible, long$-$term policy commitments.
