The specific value the affirmative shall offer in agreement with the resolution is Revolution. To specifically identify the meaning of the value we turn to John Locke’s 5 criterions for Revolution, which are
1.- It substitutes arbitrary will for law
2.- It hinders the legislative powers from assembling in good time or from acting freely
3- It alters the mode of electing the legislative body
4- It delivers the people into the jurisdiction of a foreign power 5- It abandons the trust to govern the people
