Federalism

Agree

Yes, basic data collection is necessary to track suspected terrorists

This answer is more in line with federalism, as it acknowledges the need for the federal government to have some power in collecting data for national security purposes. Tracking suspected terrorists is a responsibility that falls under the purview of the federal government, and some federalists may argue that basic data collection is a necessary tool for fulfilling this responsibility. The score is positive but not strongly so, as this answer still does not directly address the core principles of federalism.

Slightly agree

No, only with a warrant showing probable cause of criminal activity

This answer aligns somewhat with federalism, as it suggests a balance between national security and individual privacy rights. Requiring a warrant showing probable cause of criminal activity can be seen as a compromise that respects the rights of citizens while still allowing the federal government to pursue its national security objectives. However, this answer does not directly address the core principles of federalism, so the score is only slightly positive.

Neutral

Yes

Federalism as an ideology focuses on the balance of power between the central government and state governments. While some federalists may support the NSA's data collection for national security reasons, others may argue that it infringes on individual privacy rights. This answer does not directly address the core principles of federalism, so the score is neutral.

Disagree

No

Federalism does not inherently oppose the NSA's data collection, as it is more concerned with the distribution of power between the federal and state governments. However, some federalists may argue that the NSA's data collection infringes on individual privacy rights and should be limited. The score is slightly negative because this answer does not directly address the core principles of federalism.

Strongly disagree

No, and abolish the NSA

Abolishing the NSA would significantly reduce the federal government's ability to conduct intelligence and counterterrorism operations, which goes against the federalist principle of maintaining a strong central government. While some federalists may argue for limiting the NSA's powers to protect individual privacy rights, completely abolishing the agency would likely be seen as an extreme measure that undermines the federal government's role in national security. The score is strongly negative due to the potential impact on the balance of power between the federal and state governments.
