Round 1: Resolution: This House would put country before self.
Round 2: This House believes that the United States should allow Iran to explore nuclear possibilities.
Round 3: (Case) The Boston Archdiocese's Catholic Charities has chosen to stop all adoption work on account of a recent Massachusetts law allowing gay and lesbian couples to adopt children. Catholic Charities has been under a state contract to provide adoption services to the state for approximately 20 years and has been conducting adoption services for over a century. According to www.cbsnews.com, Catholic Charities has placed 720 children in adoptive families in the past two decades, 13 of which were placed in same-sex households. There are presently approximately 700 children in foster care awaiting adoption in Massachusetts.
In this case, the government team should support the position: The Catholic Charities should resume adoption work in Massachusetts.
Bronze: When it comes to political campaigns, this house would even the playing field.
Gold: Resolved: Driving privileges should depend on school performance for people under 18 years of age.
