a. The amount of financing and lobbying behind each choice
b. The beliefs, attitudes, and values of the policy
c. The preferences of the majority of American voters
d. The president's ongoing encouragement for one particular choice


ANS: B
Public policy encompasses the choices made regarding goals, priorities, and how resources
are allocated. Policy choices reflect the values, beliefs, and attitudes of those designing the

related to the legislation are not as important as the beliefs, attitudes, and values of the
policy.
