Answer
Establishing policies was prevented by Frederick III's illness. He was diagnosed with cancer of the larynx in 1887, which made it difficult for him to speak and breathe. This prevented him from carrying out his duties as emperor, including setting and implementing policies. As a result, his son, William II, took over many of his responsibilities.
