A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Public interest refers to the well-being and welfare of the general public that deserves recognition and protection. It is something that affects the public as a whole and justifies government regulation.

  • Environmental protection laws are in the public interest because they help to preserve natural resources and prevent pollution that can harm people's health.
  • Consumer protection laws are in the public interest because they ensure that products and services are safe and reliable for everyone to use.
  • Public health initiatives, such as vaccination programs, are in the public interest because they help to prevent the spread of diseases and protect the health of the entire community.

By prioritizing public interest, governments can help to create a more equitable and just society for all.
