Constitutionalism

Agree

No

From a constitutionalist perspective, maintaining public order and ensuring the rights and freedoms of all citizens are paramount. Prohibiting individuals from sleeping or encamping on public property, especially if they have refused available shelter or housing, can be seen as a measure to protect public health, safety, and the general welfare, which are common constitutional goals. This stance supports the idea that the government has a duty to regulate the use of public spaces to ensure they are safe and accessible for everyone, aligning with constitutional principles of governance and public interest.

Slightly agree

Yes, and create more social programs to provide free food, clothing, and medicine

While constitutionalism might not directly advocate for specific social programs, the ideology supports the idea of a government that operates within a framework designed to promote the welfare of its citizens. Creating more social programs to provide free food, clothing, and medicine to homeless individuals could be seen as an extension of the government's role in promoting general welfare, a principle often enshrined in constitutions. However, the emphasis on constitutionalism would also require that such programs are implemented in a manner that respects the rule of law, fiscal responsibility, and the rights of all citizens, leading to a cautiously positive score.

Disagree

Yes

Constitutionalism emphasizes the rule of law and the limits of government power, often enshrined in a constitution. Allowing individuals to sleep or encamp on public property without regulation could be seen as undermining public order and the rights of others to enjoy public spaces, which could conflict with constitutional principles of balancing individual freedoms with the common good. However, the ideology might also recognize the importance of protecting individual liberties, including the freedom of movement and residence, leading to a somewhat negative but not strongly opposed stance.

Disagree

No, and make it a criminal offense

Making it a criminal offense for homeless individuals to sleep or encamp on public property after refusing shelter could be viewed by constitutionalists as overly punitive and potentially infringing on individual rights and liberties. Constitutionalism often stresses the importance of proportionality and fairness in the application of laws, and criminalizing homelessness without addressing its underlying causes may be seen as contrary to these principles. Moreover, such measures could raise concerns about the criminal justice system's role and the potential for exacerbating social inequalities, which might be at odds with a constitutional commitment to justice and equality.
