Next Case
Part 1 Formal Logic
Res is a conditional statemetn and#34;if p, then q.and#34; Implies:
1) O = log. consequence
2) Disproving premises= res is true
3)Neg must prove cv does not stem from democracy
4) Truth testing, not policy
5) S: Being consistent with democratic principles
Lipset (Seymour Martin Lipset, 1994 “Some Social Requisites of Democracy: Economic Development and Political Legitimacy”)
and#34;Controversy in this area...to gain office.and#34;
Formal logic prerequisite to theory. Gateway issue to arguing, only viable interpretation of the resolution
Part 2 Determinism
Either actions are pre-determined or pure chance, free will has no effect
Smart (JJC Smart, “Free-Will, Praise and Blame” 1961)
and#34;We can now consider...pure chance has failedand#34;
1) Voting is never voluntary
2) Neg canand#39;t meet above burden
Part 3 is autonomy
Autonomy leads to violence, marginilazation and exclusion.
Cohen (Peter Cohen, 200, and#34;Is the addiction doctor the voodoo priest of Western man?” )
and#34;In our modern western...hunter and Inquisitor.and#34;
1) Negative has a violent mindset
2) Affirms pre-standard, autonomy is a social construct
3) Affirms under my standard, negating is exclusionary
Part 4 Democracy
A. Voluntary risks democratic collapse

B. CV maxes voter turnout

Part 5 Theory
1) Drop arg not debater bc other args dont violate interp
2) Aff gets to choose the roundand#39;s fwl
a. time skew
b. Neg can adapt to aff fwk, aff canand#39;t
3) Aff = rvis
a. discourages trivial theory
b. time skew

Theory Shells
Interp: Debaters may only run theory shells or topicality if the interpretation and standards for said theory shell is disclosed on the NDCA wiki 30 minutes before round. I reserve the right to clarify.
Standards:
- Substantive Education
2. Theory Education
3. Norms modeling
4. Better Quality of Theory Debates
