Why is it important to understand the difference between policy and law?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because policy may give direction but legal binding may need a legislative basis

Correct answer: A. A policy is a course of action, objective or set of guidelines adopted by a government or institution. It may guide departments and shape programmes, but its exact legal force depends on the authority and instrument used. A law is a binding rule made through a constitutionally recognised law-making process, and public authorities must act within it. Some policies can be implemented under existing legal powers, while others may require legislation, rules, budgetary approval or a formal order. Therefore, calling every policy a law can confuse its source, enforceability and limits. B is wrong because public policy is not a private diary. C is wrong because laws do not always bypass Parliament; the Constitution determines the applicable process. D is wrong because both policy and law are important to governance. Memory cue: “Policy guides; law binds when made through proper legal authority.”
