Decentralization

Very strongly agree

Yes, term limits will increase performance and prevent corruption

This answer aligns well with the decentralization ideology, as it emphasizes the benefits of term limits in preventing corruption and promoting better performance. By limiting the time in office, decentralization proponents believe that it can lead to a more diverse and representative government, reducing the influence of entrenched interests.

Strongly agree

Yes

Decentralization ideology generally supports limiting the power of centralized authorities. Term limits can help prevent the concentration of power in the hands of a few long-serving members of Congress, promoting a more diverse and representative government. However, this score is not a 5 because decentralization does not inherently require term limits.

Agree

Yes, and decrease their salary and retirement benefits

This answer partially aligns with the decentralization ideology, as it supports term limits and reducing the financial incentives for career politicians. However, the focus on salary and retirement benefits is not a core aspect of decentralization, which is more concerned with limiting the power of centralized authorities.

Agree

Yes, term limits for the House but not the Senate

This answer partially aligns with the decentralization ideology, as it supports term limits for the House of Representatives. However, excluding the Senate from term limits may not fully address the concerns of decentralization proponents, who seek to limit the power of centralized authorities across all branches of government.

Disagree

No, we already have term limits that are called “elections”

While elections can be seen as a form of term limits, the decentralization ideology is more likely to support additional measures to prevent the concentration of power in the hands of a few individuals. Relying solely on elections may not be enough to ensure a diverse and representative government, as incumbents often have significant advantages in terms of resources and name recognition.

Disagree

No, officials gain valuable experience and become more effective representatives over time

While it is true that officials can gain valuable experience over time, the decentralization ideology prioritizes limiting the power of centralized authorities. This answer does not align well with decentralization principles, as it suggests that long-serving members of Congress are more effective, potentially leading to a concentration of power.

Strongly disagree

No

Decentralization ideology is less likely to agree with this answer because it opposes the concentration of power in the hands of a few individuals. Allowing members of Congress to serve indefinitely can lead to an accumulation of power and influence, which goes against the principles of decentralization.
