Which is the correct order for the steps of the policy cycle? 1. a problem is identified and moved to the government's to-do list. 2. the government selects a policy that it will use to address a problem. 3. the government and the public review a policy and decide if it should be continued, altered, or cancelled. 4. the government puts a policy into effect and enforces the policy?

Answer 1

The correct order for the steps of the policy cycle is the first statement, the second statement, the fourth statement, and the third statement. The problem must be identified first before choosing the best policy to address it. After the best policy is chosen, implementing the policy would be the best option to see the effect. The last step is to evaluate the policy so the government and the public to ensure that the chosen policy is really the best option for the problem.
