Lincoln-Douglas debate is a debate of philosophy. I like to think of it as, rather than a debate of what IS, (such as a policy debate), it’s a debate of should’s. The question of the res is not what is, but what should be. This case provides one of many possible approaches to what should be. This case is largely based in American political history, because it provides one of the most clear cases where a democracy has worked with minimal intrusion into the affairs of politicians.
This case becomes more difficult to run when you have 1) a practical judge, who sees things the way they are, not the way they should be, or 2) someone who understands how Resolutional Theory relates to either proving or disproving the resolution.
