Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The source of unintended consequences in legislation is generally attributed to the policy design. When legislators write policies in vague terms, it leaves room for interpretation and implementation by different individuals or agencies. This lack of clarity can result in unintended outcomes or consequences that were not foreseen or intended by the lawmakers. Therefore, the correct option that identifies the source of unintended consequences is "policy design."
