The Ayn Rand Institute provides analyses of debate resolutions in the National Forensic League national tournament, including Lincoln Douglas, Policy, and Public Forum. All of our resources are free for students and coaches, and our perspective will always be unique and challenging.

In addition to our analyses of each debate resolution, articles that analyze and comment on current events will be provided as examples to illustrate what our perspective looks like.
