Theological note: The measure bears on the Christian concern that civil authority not gain unchecked power to monitor and control the ordinary economic lives of persons. Restraining a possible instrument of state financial surveillance relates to general equity, property, and the proper limits of government. The operative text addresses monetary policy and CBDC authority, so this is an issue-relevance note, not a final judgment.
