Prudentialism
Prudentialism is a moral principle based on precautionary principles that are acting to avoid a particular negative effect.
For example, acting in self-defence or, indeed, pre-emptive attacks on "rogue" states.
Prudentialism is also a philosophy of constitutional interpretation that considers laws and powers from a pragmatic viewpoint.[1] According to government scholar John E. Finn, prudentialism "counsels judges to avoid setting broad rules for future cases and offers a particular understanding of the limited role courts should play in a constitutional democracy."[1]
