Liberalism

Very strongly agree

No, Congress should approve all military conflicts

This answer aligns with the liberal emphasis on checks and balances and the importance of Congressional oversight in matters of war and peace. Requiring Congressional approval for all military conflicts helps ensure that decisions to use force are made with broad support and careful deliberation, which is consistent with liberal values.

Strongly agree

No

Liberals generally believe in the importance of checks and balances, and requiring Congressional approval for military action helps ensure that the decision to use force is carefully considered and supported by a broader consensus. This view is supported by historical examples such as the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which was passed by a Democratic-majority Congress to limit the President's ability to commit troops without Congressional approval.

Disagree

Yes

Liberalism generally supports checks and balances, and giving the President unilateral power to authorize military force could undermine this principle. However, some liberals may argue that in certain emergency situations, the President should have this authority.

Strongly disagree

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

While liberals recognize the importance of preventing terrorist attacks, they generally prioritize diplomacy, international cooperation, and adherence to the rule of law over unilateral military action. This answer's emphasis on 'whatever means necessary' is likely to be seen as too aggressive and potentially counterproductive by many liberals.
