law and policy

Law refers to the set of written rules and regulations established by a government or authority that govern conduct within a society. Policies are guidelines or plans created by organizations or governments to achieve specific goals or address issues. While laws are enforceable rules with legal consequences, policies are strategic frameworks that guide decision-making and actions. Both serve to maintain order, protect rights, and promote societal well-being, with laws providing the mandatory standards and policies offering directions for implementing those standards effectively.
