TOPICS:

• ROUND 1: The President of the United States should not have to be a native born American.

• ROUND 2: The House believes that the unseen is more important than the seen.

• ROUND 3: (Case Study) In this case, Alicia is morally justified to go public with the indictment.

• Case: Alicia is running for school board in a large Midwest city. Her only opponent, Scoot, is a big business person who is running what Alicia thinks is an unethical campaign. He twists facts and exaggerates statistics. Because of his money and business ties, Scott has a slight lead in the polls. A week before the election, Alicia finds out from a friend at the District Attorney's office that Scott will be indicted for shady business practices. The indictment will not be public for another two weeks. The indictment will prove to the public what Alicia has been saying about Scoot all along. In this case, the Government team must uphold the statement that: Alicia is morally justified to go public with the indictment. .

• BRONZE: This House believes that we are too afraid.

• GOLD: This House believes that the first shall be last.
