Agree

From an individualist perspective, maintaining a balance of power and ensuring that no single branch of government has unchecked authority is crucial. Requiring Congressional approval for military actions aligns with these principles by promoting accountability and preventing the potential for autocratic governance. However, the score is moderate because individualism might also acknowledge situations where rapid response is necessary for national security.

Individualism emphasizes personal freedom and autonomy. While it might support decisive action against threats, it also values checks and balances to prevent the concentration of power. Authorizing military force without Congressional approval could be seen as an overreach of executive power, which individualism typically opposes.

Disagree

Yes, we must use whatever means necessary to prevent another terrorist attack

While individualism might agree with the premise of protecting citizens from terrorist attacks, the ideology typically stresses the importance of following established legal and constitutional processes. The statement's emphasis on using 'whatever means necessary' could justify bypassing these processes, which individualism would likely view as a dangerous precedent that could undermine personal freedoms and the rule of law.
