Policy is basically 'lets do this' and then bam legislation is made and now we're actually doing it.

Answer 22

National/Federal - Big boys. This is Congress, President, and the Supreme Court. They rule over the whole nation.

State - These are your governors and state legislators(basically a mini Congress with a Senate and House of Reps of their own) and state courts.

Local - Mayors and town councils, things of that nature.

Answer 23

Okay cool so

Trump Tower transcripts detail quest for dirt on Hillary Clinton would fall under the national level of government because it has to do directly with the President of the United States

Answer 24

An example of a national level of government would be how Trump Tower transcripts detail quest for dirt on Hillary Clinton. Since this example has to do directly with the President, it falls under the national and federal level of government

Answer 25

Would this be good or should I add something else

Answer 26

Hmm, found a definition that might help you understand it a bit better.

Answer 27

You have to frame your response in terms of (1) how it is an example of a policy and (2) what level of government it is.

You're good on (2), and you can just put national.

Answer 28

They are basically synonymous, it's up to you really lol

Answer 29

okay so i just need to get the policy part down

Answer 30

hold on one sec let me see what my lesson says

Answer 31

A plan or course of action. The word is used more specifically to refer to the actions that government takes on behalf of the people.

Answer 32

This is the definition my lesson gives

Answer 33

Yeah, that aligns well with this one.

1. Politics: (1) The basic principles by which a government is guided.
(2) The declared objectives that a government or party seeks to achieve and preserve in the interest of national community. See also public policy.

Answer 34

The term policy is an idea that has been official. It can also be a guide to how a nation is ran, through “policies”. An example of a national level of government would be how Trump Tower transcripts detail quest for dirt on Hillary Clinton. Since this example has to do directly with the President, it falls under the national and federal level of government

Answer 35

better? :/

Answer 36

"The term policy is an idea that has been official." I don't like this definition. Mostly because policy sounds formal but it really isn't. That's why I joked about lettuce. I mean a lot of the times, politicians create policy and it's like "what the heck, how did he get elected."

Also, it would it "that is official" not "has been."

Answer 37

You could recycle their definition:

Policy is the course of action which the government takes on behalf of the people.

Answer 38

Or..

Policy is the objective by which the government pursues with the people's interests in mind.

Answer 39

Why are you so good?

Answer 40

Answer 41
