6 TheAffirmative Case • This is the first speech in the debate.
• The affirmative presents about 10 pieces of evidence. • “The Case” explains why the resolution should be affirmed by the judge. • Typically cases outline: a problem [harm], a legislative plan, advantages to taking action, and evidence that the proposed plan will solve the problem. • The plan will implement one of the five legalization areas: marihuana, gambling, prostitituion, euthanasia, or organ sales. The Aff Case: problem Plan Advantges Solution- Solvency Sunday, September 7, 14

7 • Topicality is an argument about whether the
affirmative plan meets required meanings in the words of the resolution. Is the plan topical? This argument argues that the plan is NOT topical. Topicality usually has three parts: 1. an interpretation/ definition of a word in the resolution, 2. explanation why the affirmative plan does not meet the defintion and 3. reasons why this definition and interpretation is best for the debate. Example: Legalize might be a word defined as a topicality argument. • Topicality Word in Resolution Sunday, September 7, 14

8 Counterplan • Counterplan is a negative plan to solve
the affirmative problem area. Counterplans usually must be proven competitive or to force a choice between the affirmative plan and the negative counterplan Counterplans often strongly resemble the affirmative plan with minor adjustments. This type of counterplanning is known as the plan inclusive counterplan. Examples include: States CP, Decriminalization counterplan • Counterplan Competitive Negative Counter proposal Sunday, September 7, 14

9 • The critique or Kritik is an argument against assumptions
made by an opponent in debate. Kritiks typically must offer an alternative. Kritiks tend to be drawn from philosophical literatures. Examples include: Capitalism, Feminism, and Neocolonialism • Kritik Competitive Arguing against the assumptions of the affirmative Sunday, September 7, 14

10 Disadvantage • Examples include: Midterms, Federalism, Drug Cartels
