....The Lincoln Douglas Debates
The first debate on TV between Richard Nixon and John Kennedy which was on 26 September 1960 began the modern series of presidential debates. Abraham Lincoln and Steven A. Douglas engaged in a series of memorable debates during their campaign for US senator in 1858 two years before they ran for President
No, at the end of all seven debates between the two men, Douglas beat Lincoln in the election to retain his Illinois senate seat. While it can be said that each man made important points, Senator Douglas had the edge having been the incumbent candidate.
Patrick Henry believed the issue at the heart of the debates was war, peace, and liberty. He believed that war was necessary to gain peace.
The Lincoln and Douglas debates in 1858, were extensively covered by newspapers in both the North and the South. Northerners followed the debates and by doing so, brought to national attention the views of Abraham Lincoln. Abolitionists in the North were impressed with Abraham Lincoln's views on slavery.
The Senate has one calendar
The Senate has one calendar
Floor debate is strictly limited on the House, but almost unrestrained in the Senate.
In the Senate, debates are scheduled based on five distinct calendars, each serving a different purpose. The "Executive Calendar" is for presidential nominations and treaties, while the "Legislative Calendar" focuses on bills and resolutions. Additional calendars address different types of legislation, such as "Calendars of General Orders" for bills ready for floor consideration and "Unanimous Consent Calendars" for expedited processes. This structured scheduling allows for organized debate and prioritization of legislative matters.
A forum is a venue or place used for discussion. A debate is a formalized discussion, typically with a moderator and stringent rules. Some debates will actually have a winner declared by judges. Often forums are discussion that may have a moderator, but it is more to share viewpoints and discuss alternatives then to convince people of one viewpoint or another.
Topic is a discussion and discussion is a synonym for debate
