develop and present a proposition or resolution around which you will eventually develop an argument
Okay, um these are the things that debaters use. I can give you some sample ones so that you can formulate your own... Resolved: In the realm of economics, freedom ought to be valued above equity. Resolved: National security ought to be valued above freedom of the press. Resolved: That governments have a moral obligation to assist other nations in need. Resolved: In the pursuit of justice, due process ought to be valued above the discovery of fact. I used to be a Lincoln/Douglas debater and these are some of the resolutions that the NCFCA created an around which we formulated our cases. Happy arguing...
