The main difference between them is that debate is when someone gives you a topic and you have to express your views for or against the topic whereas declamation is when you are supposed to redeliver a speech originally delivered by a famous person and in it you are to be judged on the way you speak.
Lincoln-Douglas (LD) is centered around values. Cases typically have a value premise, value criterion, and multiple contentions. The value premise is a way of judging the resolution (such as justice or national security). The value criterion is how the case's contentions achieve the value premise (such as utilitarianism or the Rawlsian veil of ignorance). The contentions are a case's main arguments. Philosophy and analytical arguments should play a heavy role in an LD debate.
What is the main topic of this topic?
Slavery
You debate whether it is the cause or not. if you say it is, then you have to say what isn't planned properly, and how to improve it. if you are against, then you have to say why and provide an alternative cause.
The main ISSUE of the DEBATE was whether slavery be allowed to expand to new territories. The REASON the debates were held was for a seat in the Illinois Senate.
the thing an author wants the reader to focus on -the topic or main point and what is it about
well,basically the main idea of the book. it is like '' what is the main topic for this book''. main topic is the main idea
For the most part the Lincoln and Douglas debates centered around slavery. Lincoln made it clear how strong his opposition to slavery was. Douglas was not a pro-slavery advocate, but trusted the US Supreme Court decision in 1858 that basically declared slavery legal.
