Polarity rationale: Reviewed enrichment (llm_import) polarity: The measure directly restrains military hostilities that lack congressional authorization, which is a named harm of unjust war-making. Its express preservation of defense against attack keeps it focused on restraint rather than on hindering legitimate defense, so it fits the framework's category of restraining evil.
Theological note: The bill bears on the proper use of the sword under lawful authority, the duty to restrain unjust killing, and the constitutional principle that war-making should be authorized by the body of representatives rather than undertaken unilaterally. It also preserves the right of defense against attack, which is relevant to the just-war concern for self-defense and the protection of the innocent.
