Public policy in the United States is shaped by a wide variety of forces, from polls and election results to interest groups and institutions, both formal and informal. In addition to political parties, the influence of diverse and sometimes antagonistic political forces has been widely acknowledged by policymakers and evidenced by scholars, and journalists. In recent years concerns have been growing that deep-pocketed donors now play an unprecedented role in American politics — concerns supported by 2013 research from Harvard and the University of Sydney that found that for election integrity, the U.S. ranked 26th out of 66 countries analyzed.
The question of who shapes public policies and under what conditions is a critical one, particularly in the context of declining voter turnout. From both a theoretical and practical point of view, it is important to understand if voters still have the possibility of providing meaningful input into public policies, or if the government bypasses citizens in favor of economic elites and interest groups with strong fundraising and organizational capacity.

Answer: state of nature / social contract
Explanation:
Theorists like Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, developed different theories about the state of nature and the social contract, although their underlying ideas shared some similarities.
The state of nature refers to a real or hypothetical condition of humanity before any political association, and the social contract would be also either a real or hypothetical understanding about the rights and duties of the rulers and the ruled people.
The flexible response was created and implemented during former President John F. Kennedy's administration at the year 1961 as a measure to counteract the New Look policy of former President Dwight Eisenhower in his policy of conducting a massive military action in case of war.
