public policy

Read a random definition: sales in gross

A quick definition of public policy:

Public policy refers to the rules and actions that governments or non-profit organizations put in place to solve social problems. These rules can be written or unwritten and are meant to benefit the public. In law, public policy means that if something is harmful to the public, it cannot be allowed.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Public policy refers to the principles and ideas that guide the actions of governments and non-profit organizations in response to social issues. It can be implemented through programs and legislation to address challenges faced by society. In law, public policy is the principle that a contract or transaction can be deemed invalid if it harms the public good.

  • A government implementing a policy to provide free healthcare to all citizens.
  • A non-profit organization creating a program to provide education and job training to underprivileged youth.
  • A court ruling that a contract between two parties is invalid because it goes against public policy, such as a contract for illegal activities.

These examples illustrate how public policy can be used to address social issues and promote the well-being of society. The first two examples show how governments and non-profit organizations can implement policies and programs to provide essential services and support to citizens in need. The third example demonstrates how public policy can be used in the legal system to protect the public good and prevent harmful activities.

I don't think Haggerty is that expensive though, the insurance on classic cars from them can be pretty cheap
