Answer 1

Integration was/is a public policy that has had great effect on the country. The FDA (Food & Drug Administration) maintains public policy that ensures our food meeys certain safe standards, & drugs aren't cleared for use until well tested.

Public policy also was responsible for seat belts & airbags in vehicles, which have saved thousands of lives.
