You are conducting a succinct Policy Analysis.
Remember, social policy is a response to a social problem (or a perceived social problem - not everyone will agree that something is a "problem). As such, to develop an understanding of social welfare policy, you must first develop an understanding of the problem(s) the policy is trying to address. This paper allows you to explore the problem and the policy response.
An example to help with this clarification: in 2022 and 2023 we saw a huge uptick in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation across the United States. This included local and state level policies that ban drag shows, books, gender affirming treatment for trans youth, and more. As such, a "problem" has been defined by those who have pushed for these bills. So, if you were exploring Tennesses's most recent anti-trans policy, you would have to look at/understand the "problem" that the legislation is trying to address as well as looking at/understanding how people are harmed/marginalized by the way that the "problem" has been defined.
In your policy analysis assignment you will need to critically explore how problems are discussed/defined.
Ensure that you are connecting the social problem you discuss to policy - we are defining policy as a specific piece of legislation at the federal, state, or local level. This paper requires you to assess an actual policy. so you're looking for the legislation that has been enacted as a response to the social problem. Programs are created by legislation but you're not doing an evaluation of the program, rather you're looking at the legislation itself.

It is also important to remember that you must look at policy that has been enacted for this assignment. You will not be able to complete this assignment with something that was introduced but not enacted. In some cases, you may be looking at one part of a larger policy - e.g. one component of the Affordable Care Act, the Personal Responsibility And Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, etc. Work with your instructor to ensure you've selected an appropriate and "doable" topic for this paper.
