This paper discusses how traditional and social structures in Senegal influence the political system. It was interesting to note that the traditional and political structures were almost destroyed or discredited during the beginning of the twentieth century with the French introducing political institutions in place of traditional authorities. The paper also looks at different social structures, their attendant patterns of behaviour, and the individuals who fall within each rubric.
