The nation of Canada will be occupied and its sovereignty will be fully subsumed by the United States. We chose something that’s particularly needy in terms of details your plans can be a bit shorter but should follow a similar rhythm: plank name, tag, 1-2 efficient sentences to explain. Each of the sub-points should be tagged as well. Like everything you want the judge to write down, plans should be tagged. The cruise is next July, when the weather is nice and we’ve had time to pay you back. We’ll buy the tickets now, while they’re on sale. In most policy plans involving the federal government, being specific to a year is enough, like “Our plan will take effect on January 1 of next year and will be phased in over the next 5 years.” This doesn’t necessarily have to be exact to the second it just has to have enough detail for the judge and opponents to evaluate it accurately. Timeframe: When the plan will be implemented and how long it will take. We will all get part-time jobs and pay the parents back in full before the cruise starts. The cost of tickets for the whole family is $1500, which will go on Mom’s credit card. This plank should also cover how you intend to get those resources. Omni uses a broader term to describe all resources the plan needs, not just money. If you’ve been around policy for awhile, you know this plank as “Funding.” Sometimes, Provision is just about money. Figure out exactly who is responsible - is it the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, or the ATF? Provision: What resources plan will require, and how they will be provided. If your agency is congress and the president, the enforcement is probably some combination of federal departments. We often see these two merged as “Our Agency and Enforcement will be Congress and the President.” Unless you actually want congress and the president going into the field and carrying out your plan, this is incorrect. Enforcement is the hand of the plan - and that’s the last of our anatomical analogies.Įnforcement: Whole Family. This is the person or group who go into action once the agent has approved the change. Enforcement: Who will carry out the mandate. For example, you could say that the President will veto the plan and then Congress will pass it on a 2/3 majority. If the resolution says that the United States Federal Government should do something, your agency will almost certainly be Congress (passing the bill) and the president (signing it into law). Mom and Dad will decide to go on the cruise. Think of agency as the brain of the plan.Īgency: Parents. This isn’t the judge (usually) it’s the person or group responsible for authorizing the change. Our family will go on a cruise in the Caribbean. This is the thing you want done the beating heart of your plan. Plans contain 5 “planks,” or explanatory sub-points. Don’t reserve the right to clarify use it - immediately. Tell the judge everything about your plan that is likely to be relevant to the ballot. While you can leave some things to common sense and common knowledge, you definitely shouldn’t hurry through your Plan observation. The negative will comb through it looking for any weakness or ambiguity they can exploit. The details of a plan are very important. You have other argument classes for the rest. It’s just about explaining what you are supporting. It shouldn’t contain any direct advocacy, like a piece of evidence saying that the plan is a good idea. It’s more like a resolutional analysis than anything else. The plan is not an argument, but a clarification of the affirmative position. Plan: a specific instance of a policy resolution. Today, we dive into the one observation every policy debate must have: the plan. In the last post, we laid out the basics of policy theory that are true in almost all rounds.
