Description

Round One: Opening Arguments
Round Two: Rebuttals
Round Three: Rejoinders
Round Four: (Double) Rejoinders
Round Five: Closing Arguments

Stipulations:

1. Consent: to express approval or agreement in the absence of duress. (Since I'm arguing against the age of consent, the legal definition will not be the standard. My opponent can submit it, but he or she will have to substantiate its integrity.)

2. Age of Consent: the age at which one is legally competent to give consent especially to marriage or to sexual intercourse (Legal Definition.)

3. This debate will not be confined to pedophilia. Nevertheless, pedophilia can be mentioned and explored.

Resolution: Are age of consent policies logically consistent or not? Are they moral or not?
