The difference between an act and a policy.

-Policy is defined as a statement of intent or an action plan to transform a perceived problem into a future solution. A policy outlines what a government ministry hopes to achieve as well as methods and principles it will use to achieve them. An Act is defined as a piece of legislation where it’s the base for forming a law.

Factual difference between an act and a policy.

-A policy is a document that outlines what a government is going to do and what it can achieve for the society as a whole. It also outlines any and all methods and principles that the government or any entity, for that matter, will use to achieve its directive. A policy is not a law, however, it can often identify new laws that are needed by the government to achieve its goals. Acts can be classified as two things: a document that records a fact, something said or something done. It can also be known as a law or statue that has been enacted by the government. Acts are basically rules that have noted down a piece of paper.

What I thought were the difference between an act and a policy.

-An act is a legislative process. To make an act there is a procedure mentioned in the constitution. A policy is the viewpoint or a plan, which may or may not involve specific legislation.
