Topicality is an argument that contests whether or not the affirmative has met its burden in defending the resolution. While theory interpretations describe norms that would be good for debate, and then prove why a debater has violated those norms, topicality interpretations begin with the foundational assumption that it is good for the affirmative to defend the resolution, and then go on to describe what the best interpretation of the resolution is and why the affirmative has not defended that interpretation. | Topicality is an argument that contests whether or not the affirmative has met its burden in defending the resolution.
