Title: 
Headings: SAMPLE NEGATIVE CONSTRUCTIVE
SAMPLE
 
NEGATIVE
 
CONSTRUCTIVE
  

Resolved:
 
Civil
 
disobedience
 
in
 
a
 
democracy
 
is
 
morally
 
justified.
   

Next,
 
Professor
 
Joshua
 
Dressler
 
define
 
morally
 
justified
 
as:
  

torched
not
 
just
 
to
 
the
 
obligation
 
to
 
obey
 
the
 
law,
 
but
 
[and]
 
to
 
the
 
need
 
for
 


Content: Accordingly,
 
a
 
democratic
 
polity
 
is
 
often
 
identified
 
by
 
the
 
existence
 
of
 
[1]
 
constitutional
 
government,
 
where
 
the
 
power
 
of
 
the
 
leaders
 
is
 
checked
 
and
 
restrained; [2]
 
representative
 
institutions
 
based
 
on
 
free
 
elections,
 
which
 
provide
 
a
 
procedural
 
framework
 
for
 
the
 
delegation
 
of
 
power
 
by
 
the
 
people; competitive
 
parties,
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
[3]
 
[a]
 
ruling
 
majority
 
[that]
 
respects
 
and
 
guarantees
 
the
 
rights
 
of
 
minorities; and
 
[4]
 
civil
 
liberties,
 
such
 
as
 
freedoms
 
of
 
speech,
 
press,
 
association,
 
and
 
religion. Next,
 
Professor
 
Joshua
 
Dressler
 
define
 
morally
 
justified
 
as: “Specifically,
 
I
 
have
 
argued
 
that
 
conduct
 
is,
 
or
 
ought
 
to
 
be,
 
justified,
 
without
 
consideration
 
of
 
an
 
actor’s
 
character,
 
whenever
 
the
 
conduct
 
is
 
morally
 
good
 
or
 
tolerable,
 
whether
 
deontologically
 
or
 
teleologically
 
based.” “New

Justification

resolution
 
requires
 
a
 
moral
 
justification,
