Affirmative agenda

[ian2]

The reason I asked, the verb affirm has more than one meaning, and they are closely related. From affirm - Definitions from Dictionary.com):

1. to state or assert positively; maintain as true:

to affirm one's loyalty to one's country; He affirmed that all was well.

2. to confirm or ratify:

The appellate court affirmed the judgment of the lower court.

3.to assert solemnly:

He affirmed his innocence.

4.to express agreement with or commitment to; uphold; support:

to affirm human rights.

Which definition(s) are you working from; e.g., these findings affirm the outcome of past engagements; affirmative agenda.

All the best.

Thanks. I probably would take No. 4. But all the four senses are pretty close to one another.
