Problem
A policy summary regarding an environmental policy (e.g. The Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, Endangered Species Act, etc.). The summary should answer the following: What is the purpose of the law? What related legislation was in place before the law's passage, if any? What circumstances/events led to the law's passage? Who supported the law? What was their rationale for proposing it? Who opposed the law? What was their rationale for doing so? What has been the impact of the law on the American environment? Which theory best explains the outcome of the policy - group, elite, or institutions theory?
