QUESTION 3

The third stage in the policy-making process is the formulation and decision-making stage. Policy decision-making is important because, as Anderson argues, policy decision involves action by some official person or body to approve, modify, or reject a preferred policy alternative. In most democratic dispensations, the legislature is responsible for final policy-decision-making. When a 50% +1 majority of the legislature's total membership is required to pass the legislation, what do we call this type of majority?

Please select the correct option:
a. Relative majority
b. Loaded majority
c. Special majority
d. Absolute majority
e. Effective majority
