Policies are debated and enacted in government through a systematic process involving deliberation, negotiation, and decision-making among various stakeholders. This process generally begins with the identification of issues, followed by drafting proposed legislation, known as a bill. Stakeholders, such as lawmakers, interest groups, and the public, participate in discussions and revisions. Once consensus is reached, the bill progresses through a series of votes in legislative bodies. Upon approval, policies are implemented, often monitored for effectiveness. This democratic process seeks to ensure that diverse viewpoints are considered in shaping governance and addressing societal needs.
