	Formats of Debate
		Unlike in other forms of debate, where the resolution is established well in advance of a tournament and is the same for every round in the tournament, in Parliamentary debate the resolution is usually not established until 10 minutes before the debate round begins, and there is a new resolution for every round of debate.
		This is a newer form of college-level debate than NDT, and it was born as a reaction to NDT in the same way that Lincoln-Douglas debate was born as a reaction to team policy debate.
		Parliamentary debate is yet another form of debate that arose as a reaction against the excesses of NDT and team policy debate.

		The New Utopias: The Theoretical Problems of Fiating International Policy Action With the 1992-1993 policy debate topics at both the college and high school levels, negative teams quickly discovered that the the topics severely limited available counterplan and disadvantage ground.1 Thus, they sought to expand their ground in an attempt to regain argumentative equity.
		The last policy topic at the college level that dealt with international action was the 1962-1963 resolution on establishing an economic community (Katsulas 2; Freeley 459).
		This argument suggests that the central question of all recent policy resolutions is whether the U.S. should act, or if alternatively the U.S. should not act.

		Debates consist of eight speeches, four affirmative and four negative, with each debater giving two speeches, one constructive (eight or nine minutes) in which new arguments may be raised and one rebuttal (four, five, or six minutes) in which new evidence, but no new arguments, may be raised.

	Nickle Resolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As a resolution rather than an Act of Parliament, the Nickle Resolution's chief importance is in having established a policy precedent whose application has had a varying degree of success and enforcement in governing the granting and use of titular honours in Canada, and of their receipt and use by Canadians, under successive Canadian governments.
		It should be no surprise, therefore, that the Nickle Resolution was recognized as policy during King's long tenure as Prime Minister and that, despite the attempt by R. Bennett to reinstitute honours during his term, the Nickle Resolution was entrenched in government practice by the time King retired in 1948].
		In February 1929, during the Liberal ministry of William Lyon Mackenzie King, a debate was held on the question of titular honours in the House of Commons, specifically to put to the House the question of whether the Nickle Resolution ought to be reconsidered.
