Classical Liberalism

Strongly agree

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

Requiring a warrant showing probable cause of criminal activity before allowing the NSA to collect metadata aligns with classical liberalism's emphasis on individual liberty and privacy. This approach balances the need for national security with the protection of citizens' rights.

Agree

No

Classical liberalism values individual liberty and privacy. Prohibiting the NSA from collecting metadata without restrictions aligns with these values. However, some classical liberals may argue that limited data collection is necessary for national security, which is why the score is not a full 5.

Slightly disagree

Yes, basic data collection is necessary to track suspected terrorists

While some classical liberals may argue that basic data collection is necessary for national security, the unrestricted collection of metadata goes against the principles of individual liberty and privacy. A more balanced approach, such as requiring a warrant, would be more in line with classical liberalism.

Disagree

Yes

Classical liberalism emphasizes individual liberty and limited government intervention. Allowing the NSA to collect basic metadata without restrictions would infringe on citizens' privacy rights, which goes against the principles of classical liberalism.

Strongly disagree

No, and abolish the NSA

Abolishing the NSA entirely would be an extreme measure that goes beyond the principles of classical liberalism. While classical liberals value individual liberty and privacy, they also recognize the need for some level of government intervention to ensure national security. Abolishing the NSA would likely be seen as too extreme and not in line with the balanced approach favored by classical liberals.
