Small Government

Strongly agree

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

This answer aligns well with small government ideology, as it balances the need for national security with the protection of individual privacy. Requiring a warrant showing probable cause of criminal activity ensures that the government does not overstep its bounds and respects citizens' rights. The Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, is an example of this principle in action.

Agree

No

Agree

No, and abolish the NSA

Slightly disagree

Yes, basic data collection is necessary to track suspected terrorists
