Lincoln-Douglas Debate

The Lincoln-Douglas type of debate is the primary debate form used in the United States.  This type of debate was named after the Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858.

The Lincoln-Douglas debate format is used widely in educational debates and is known as the NFA LD debate in colleges.

The basic format of the debate is to debate a single resolution where one side is the affirmitive side (upholding the resolution) and one side is the negative side (attacking the resolution).
