Wikipedia
Inherency is a stock issue in policy debate that refers to a barrier that keeps a harm from being solved in the status quo.

There are three main types of inherency:

*Structural inherency: Laws or other barriers to the implementation of the plan.
*Attitudinal inherency: Beliefs or attitudes which prevent the implementation of the plan.
*Existential inherency: The plan hasn't happened yet.

Despite the classification of these three as the "main types" of inherency, the existence of other types are subject to theory (much like a substantial part of the lexicon for the event). In higher level policy debate inherency has become a non issue. Many judges will not vote on it, and negative teams do not run it often because it contradicts uniqueness on disadvantages.
