The cabinet is part of which branch of the federal government? the executive branch the legislative branch the representative branch the judicial branch

The executive. Hope this helps

The correct answer is the executive branch

The representative branch doesn't exist, the only three branches are the executive, legislative, and judicial. The Cabinet is a part of the executive branch because they work under the president and the president is the chief of the Executive branch. Legislative branch is the congress and the judicial branch is the court system.

An informal structure in a bureaucracy would be something like so-called "office politics". where there's a formal structure set up for the organization, but then an informal subculture as well that has a way of organizing the bureaucracy further. this can be positive because it sets up an added degree of organization, albeit informal, within the bureaucracy.
