Somehow, Senator Knowsome’s bill to outlaw hamburgers passes the House, the Senate, and is signed by the President. The bill instructs the Food and Drug Administration to ensure that there are no more hamburgers, which the FDA begins to do. At what stage of the policymaking cycle is this?
  1. Agenda setting
  2. Policy formulation
  3. Implementation
  4. Policy evaluation
  5. Policy regression
Explanation
Answer: C - Implementing a policy can be almost as difficult as creating it. How is the FDA to get rid of all hamburgers? It can ban the selling of ground beef, but that won’t stop people from grinding their own beef. It can make sure there are no hamburgers sold in restaurants, but how is it supposed to ensure there are no hamburgers being made in people’s homes? Outlawing hamburgers is easier said than done.
