Constitutionalism

Agree

No

From a constitutionalist perspective, opposing mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession aligns with the principles of judicial discretion and the protection of individual liberties. Constitutionalism advocates for laws and policies that respect the separation of powers, allowing judges to tailor sentences based on the circumstances of each case. This approach is more in line with the constitutional principle of proportionality and fairness in the legal system.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for drug dealers, not users

While constitutionalism values the rule of law and might support the idea of holding drug dealers accountable, the ideology also prioritizes judicial discretion and the protection of individual rights. Mandatory minimum sentences for drug dealers, but not users, could be seen as a compromise that targets the supply side of the drug issue without unduly punishing users. However, the lack of discretion still poses concerns about fairness and proportionality, making this position only slightly agreeable from a constitutionalist standpoint.

Disagree

Yes

Constitutionalism emphasizes the rule of law, separation of powers, and the protection of fundamental rights. Mandatory minimum sentences, especially for drug possession, can be seen as infringing on judicial discretion and potentially violating principles of proportionality and fairness. While not directly addressed in historical documents, the spirit of constitutionalism suggests a skepticism towards policies that might undermine individual rights and judicial independence.
