Polarity rationale: Reviewed enrichment (llm_import) polarity: The measure directly restrains the commitment of U.S. forces to hostilities against Venezuela absent the constitutionally required congressional authorization. Its operative effect is to check unauthorized war-making, which falls under restraining evil or defending justice rather than advancing it.
Theological note: Scripture grants the sword to government for justice, not for unauthorized aggression, and Reformed civil ethics stress limited and accountable authority under law. A measure that checks unauthorized war-making bears on the duty to restrain unjust killing and to keep the use of force within lawful, accountable bounds.
