Also, you may discuss the demographics that are positively or negatively impacted, the costs of different options, funding mechanisms, etc.
III. Examine and explain if the plan you drafted in paper I could be enacted via a modification of existing law or regulation OR potentially the development of a new legislation. If you are proposing to modify existing laws or regulations, make sure to include in-text citations as well as referencing the source.

IV. Discuss the methods you would use to influence legislators to support your plan. Describe how you could utilize a social media campaign to support your overall plan.
