Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Principles of Argument and Debate
Hence the proposition, Resolved, That unemployment is not the result of large-scale industry, is incorrectly phrased, because it requires the affirmative to deny the positive contentions of the neg ative. To cast this sentence into proper form, the not should be Omitted. The following proposition contains the same fault in a less obvious form: Resolved, That the present neutrality act is satisfactory. Here the affirmative would be defending the status quo instead of recommending a change. The proposition Should be recast and limited, possibly in this form: Resolved, That the present neutrality act Should be amended to include the former embargo provisions.
