NHSDLC首届林肯道格拉斯辩论挑战赛比赛信息

The Lincoln-Douglas debates were a series of formal political debates between the challenger, Abraham Lincoln, and the incumbent, Stephen A. Douglas, in a campaign for one of Illinois' two United States Senate seats. Although Lincoln lost the election, these debates launched him into national prominence which eventually led to his election as President of the United States.

1858年，Abraham Lincoln和Stephen Douglas在伊利诺伊州举行了一场参议员竞选。当时，道格拉斯是现任参议员，但为了夺取道格拉斯的席位，林肯向道格拉斯发起了一系列辩论。

Lincoln and Douglas agreed to debate in seven of the nine Illinois Congressional Districts; the seven where Douglas had not already spoken. In each debate either Douglas or Lincoln would open with an hour address. The other would then speak for an hour and a half. The first then had 30 minutes of rebuttal. In the seven debates, Douglas, as the incumbent, was allowed to go first four times.

林肯和道格拉斯在伊利诺伊州的九个国会选区中的七个进行了辩论。每场辩论中，道格拉斯或林肯将首先发表一个小时的讲话，随后另一方进行一个半小时的发言，最后前者有30分钟的反驳时间。

1. Ottawa, Illinois, August 21, 1858

2. Freeport, Illinois, August 27, 1858

3. Jonesboro, Illinois, September 15, 1858

4. Charleston, Illinois, September 18, 1858

5. Galesburg, Illinois, October 7, 1858

6. Quincy, Illinois, October 13, 1858

7. Alton, Illinois, October 15, 1858

尽管林肯在选举中失败，但这一系列辩论极大地提高了他的知名度，为他在1860年当选总统奠定了基础。辩论反映出的政治和道德分歧揭示了美国面临的核心问题：一个半奴隶半自由的国家是否能够持续存在。

林肯道格拉斯辩论是美国历史上一次决定性的公共辩论，凸显了围绕奴隶制扩张问题的分歧，对美国的政治格局产生了深远影响。

Lincoln-Douglas debate (more commonly referred to as LD) is a competitive speaking activitythat involves two debaters arguing for and against a resolution.Today, LDfocuses on the conflicting values of social and philosophical issues, for example, by examiningquestions of morality, justice, democracy, etc. Typically, LD debates concern themselves withdeciding whether or not certain actions, or states of affairs, are good or bad, right or wrong.moral or immoral.

如今的林肯道格拉斯辩论(Lincoln-Douglas debate，俗称 “LD辩论”)依然是以1V1形式展开，由两名辩手就一项决议进行正反辩论。亦是美国的主流辩论赛制之一，广泛流行于美国的高中、大学校园内，许多国际大型联赛中均设置了LD辩论组别的赛制。

从辩题领域来看，LD辩论更侧重于社会和哲学问题中相互冲突的价值观，多研究道德、正义、民主等问题。
