Indeed. Before a debate is accepted, the Instigator proposes a resolution and reasons/evidence/contentions to support his stance on it. If he shows no evidence, then the contender has nothing to argue against and you have no reason to vote for the Instigator. Does anyone disagree?...

Invariably. You should not accept (or start, for that matter) a debate hoping to win by proving that the resolution does not exist or does not make sense. Here is an example: http://www.debate.com/debates/In-the-last-two-years-The-Indianopolis-Colts-were-a-better-team-than-the-New-England-Patriots./1/ In this debate, the instigator used a misspelling of the resolution to tip the scales in his favor. Such semantics avoid the entire objective of a debate. http://www.debate.com/debates/Ada...

The U.S. Constitution is and was intended by the Founding Fathers to be a "living" document, that is, they intended for it to change with the times, and it does. As an opponent, I would like you to attempt to prove that the Constitution should be interpreted exactly as it was written and that it should not be a "living" document....
