Answer 1

Regulatory agencies write the regulations that are intended to enforce the law.

Explanation: Legislatures pass laws; regulatory agencies (part of the executive branch) create and enforce regulations to implement those laws, set standards (licensing, safety, privacy, quality), and oversee compliance. They do not themselves write laws or generally guarantee pay fairness (that’s legislatures, labor departments, employers, or unions).
