National acts are laws or regulations enacted by a country's government to address specific issues or needs within the nation. These acts can cover a wide range of topics, including public health, education, and environmental protection. They are typically proposed by lawmakers and must go through a legislative process before becoming law. Once passed, national acts serve to guide the behavior of individuals, organizations, and government agencies. They can also provide funding or resources to support various initiatives. Examples of national acts include the Civil Rights Act and the Affordable Care Act, which aim to promote equality and improve healthcare access, respectively.
