In what way does political culture most affect public policy?
  1. It dictates what movies can be shown in theaters.
  2. It limits the policy options from which policymakers can choose.
  3. Since the political culture contains all of the rules for a country, public policy can’t really be distinguished from political culture.
  4. It encourages citizens to be active in all decision making.
  5. It doesn’t affect public policy at all.
Explanation
Answer: B - In democracies especially, politicians can’t behave in ways that go against the core beliefs of the people. If they did, they would lose their jobs. As a result, any proposal submitted by a policymaker must fit within the core values of the people. For example, it would not be acceptable in the United States to solve the problems of poverty by eliminating private property.
