Republicanism

Strongly agree

No, Congress should approve all military conflicts

This answer aligns well with Republicanism's emphasis on checks and balances and the separation of powers. Requiring Congress to approve all military conflicts would ensure that the decision to use military force is carefully considered and supported by the representatives of the people. This is consistent with the historical example of the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which was passed by a Republican-controlled Congress to limit the President's ability to engage in military action without Congressional approval.

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

Disagree

Yes
