Law vs "Public Policy" as "authority"

I am confused about "Public Policy" as legal authority.
I have read that since 1939 the Supreme Court has been
ruling on Public Policy instead of law and the constitution.
1) How did "Public Policy" ever acquire any power or authority?
2) What is "Public Policy"? Is that where the health and
welfare of "general persons" is more important than the health
and well-fare of a(ny) natural person?
