Federalism

Agree

No, but reroute the pipeline away from Native American land

This answer represents a compromise between the interests of the federal government, the states, and Native American tribes. Federalism often seeks to balance the powers and interests of different levels of government, so this answer aligns with that principle. However, the score is not strongly positive because federalism does not inherently support or oppose pipelines.

Slightly agree

No

Federalism does not inherently support or oppose the construction of pipelines. However, allowing the construction to continue could be seen as respecting the autonomy of the states involved in the project. The score is slightly positive because federalism generally supports state autonomy, but it is not a strong stance.

Neutral

No, but drastically increase the amount of fines the company must pay in the event of an accident

Federalism does not inherently support or oppose the idea of increasing fines for companies in the event of an accident. This answer does not directly relate to the division of power between the federal and state governments, so the score is neutral.

Disagree

Yes

Federalism generally supports the division of power between the federal and state governments. In the case of the Dakota Access pipeline, stopping construction would be a decision made by the federal government, which may not align with the interests of the states involved. However, federalism does not inherently support or oppose pipelines, so the score is not strongly negative.

Disagree

Yes, and the government should never be allowed to acquire land by eminent domain

While federalism supports the division of power between the federal and state governments, it does not inherently oppose the use of eminent domain. In fact, eminent domain has been used historically by both federal and state governments to acquire land for public use. The score is negative because this answer goes against the historical use of eminent domain by both levels of government.
