Affirmative constructive speech: The affirmative side presents arguments supporting the resolution or proposition, outlines a plan to address the issue, and highlights the benefits and advantages of their proposal. They typically set the tone for the debate by framing the topic in a positive light and presenting compelling reasons to support their position. Negative constructive speech: The negative side counters the arguments presented by the affirmative, raises potential flaws in the proposed plan, and offers alternative solutions or perspectives. They aim to poke holes in the affirmative's case, present rebuttals, and cast doubt on the feasibility or desirability of the proposed action. This speech is crucial for setting the stage for a robust and engaging debate.
