Legislation must be debatable.
Legislation must deal with an interesting or controversial political, social, or economic issue, and must do so in a way that provokes debate.
When writing legislation, debaters can use a few techniques to ensure that the result is interesting and debatable. One way is to think of or research at least seven distinct arguments that could be made on each side of the bill or resolution. If those arguments exist, then the legislation is likely to produce good debate; if they don’t, you should return to the drawing board.
Another measure of interest or debatability is topic literature; debaters should make sure that sources are available on the topic. Adequate information is required to make a debate educational and interesting. If topic literature is sparse or lacking, then write legislation on a different topic.
