The correct answer is 2B: Federal agencies develop rules in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act of 1946 to effectively implement the new law.
After a law is passed by Congress and signed by the president, federal agencies are responsible for implementing the law. They do this by developing specific rules and regulations that outline how the law will be carried out in practice. This process is guided by the Administrative Procedure Act of 1946, which sets the standards and procedures for federal agency rule-making.
Answer 1A is incorrect because while federal agencies do implement the rules from the original text of the bill, this answer does not address the process of developing those rules or the role of the Administrative Procedure Act.
Answer 3C is incorrect because Congress is responsible for passing the law itself, not developing the rules for implementing it. Congress may have oversight over the implementation and may subsequently make changes to the law if necessary, but they are not directly involved in developing the rules.
Answer 4D is incorrect because while the president has the power to sign bills into law, the development of rules and regulations for implementation is primarily the responsibility of federal agencies, not the president and their immediate staff.
