Constitutionalism

Agree

Yes

Constitutionalism emphasizes the importance of adhering to the principles and rules outlined in a nation's constitution. While the U.S. Constitution does not explicitly require political candidates to release their tax returns, proponents of transparency and accountability may argue that it is in the spirit of the Constitution to do so. However, this is not a universally agreed-upon interpretation, so the score is only slightly positive.

Yes, and also required to release their medical records

While the Constitution does not explicitly require political candidates to release their tax returns or medical records, proponents of transparency and accountability may argue that it is in the spirit of the Constitution to do so. However, this is not a universally agreed-upon interpretation, and the requirement of releasing medical records may be seen as an overreach, so the score is only slightly positive.

Yes, and require a public audit each year they are in office

While the Constitution does not explicitly require political candidates to release their tax returns or undergo public audits, proponents of transparency and accountability may argue that it is in the spirit of the Constitution to do so. However, this is not a universally agreed-upon interpretation, and the requirement of public audits each year may be seen as an overreach, so the score is only slightly positive.

Neutral

No, I would respect them more if they did but they shouldn’t be required to

This answer is neutral for constitutionalism, as it does not require political candidates to release their tax returns, adhering to the Constitution, but also acknowledges the potential benefits of transparency and accountability. The respect for candidates who voluntarily release their tax returns aligns with the values of constitutionalism without mandating it.

Slightly disagree

No

Constitutionalism does not inherently oppose the idea of political candidates releasing their tax returns, but it does prioritize the adherence to the Constitution. Since the Constitution does not require candidates to release their tax returns, constitutionalists may lean towards not requiring it. However, this is not a strong disagreement, as transparency and accountability are still important values.

Slightly disagree

No, tax returns have nothing to do with their ability to perform their duties

Disagree

No, their income is none of our business

While the Constitution does not require political candidates to release their tax returns, this answer's dismissal of the importance of transparency and accountability in the political process is not in line with the values of constitutionalism. Constitutionalism emphasizes the importance of checks and balances, and public scrutiny of a candidate's financial background can be seen as a form of check on potential corruption.
