The option that identifies the source of the unintended consequence is "policy implementation."
To answer this question, you need to analyze the excerpt from the Volstead Act and identify the source of the unintended consequence mentioned.
The Volstead Act was a piece of legislation passed in 1919 to establish the enforcement of the 18th Amendment, which prohibited the sale, manufacturing, and consumption of alcoholic beverages in the United States. The excerpt from the Volstead Act describes the consequences for maintaining or assisting in maintaining a place where intoxicating liquor is sold, manufactured, or kept in violation of the prohibition.
The unintended consequence refers to an unforeseen outcome or effect that may arise as a result of implementing a policy. In this case, the excerpt does not explicitly mention any unintended consequences. It only describes the penalties for violating the prohibition on alcohol.
Based on this information, neither policy design, policy goals, policy evaluation, nor policy implementation can be identified as the source of the unintended consequence. The correct answer may be none of the above options provided. It is important to carefully read the excerpt and ensure the question does not involve any assumptions or additional information not stated.
