The entire neg functions as a side constraint for the aff, so even if they

win all their social contract stuff, you still have to vote neg
Framework:
1. Devolves into skepdoesnt prove moral permissibility. They say
that because the govt fails to uphold their end of the contract, the
contract is therefore dissolvedmeaning we return to the state of the
nature. So him trying to prove that something is morally permissible in
the state of nature in which all moral claims are meaningless is 1)
logically contradictory and 2) means that hes not actually affirming
because hes only proving permissibility not moral permissibility.
2. TURN: State is the only objective arbiter between conflicting rights
claimsletting people make their own moral decisions instead of
looking to the protection of the state aka vigilantism makes the
contract meaningless because people can just do whatever they want
according to their own preferences.
3. Social contract between individuals is morally incoherent because
individuals need a state to resolve all the value and rights conflicts that
people haveso because it has to be universal then it cant dissolve
for some persons and not for others.
4. TURNhis framework assumes individuals start from the beginning
at an equal positionhowever thats fundamentally untrue. When the
contract first was created women were at a position of fundamental
inferiority so even in the contract today women have to buy into male
theories of what it means to be strong and male theories of violence.

The implication seems to be that feminism is more pure, more
visionary, and more long-term than the quick-fix of self-defense
training. Further, women who do engage in aggressive selfdefense training are merely participants in the established male
culture of violence. Such women see themselves as strong
because they have bought into male ideas about what it is to
be strong. Therefore, there is nothing usefully critical or revolutionary
about self-defense training.
Case:
3. And, the state is doing its job. Prah 1 writes.

(Pamela. Domestic Violence: Do teenagers need more protection? Johns Hopkins University Jan. 2006: CQ
Researcher. 7 Feb. 2012.)

Violence against women has been reported since ancient Roman times and has been
commonplace in America since Colonial times. But in the last decade, the rate of
domestic violence against women has dropped more than 50 percent. Many experts
credit the changes to the billons of dollars spent in recent years on shelters, hotlines
and legal help for victims and training sessions for police, prosecutors and judges.
With more help available, [victims] abused women, in particular, recognized they no
longer had to resort to violence to get out of a bad relationship.
The presence of moral alternatives means you automatically negate
because theres always a better, more moral way of acting. For
example, if I was a kidnap victim and I could run out the door, killing
my abuser would be immoral because there was a better way I
couldve acted.
4. Look to law as the best link to the social contract because it is the
embodiment of what people fundamentally agree onand the law
doesnt allow victims to just kill off their abusers 1) women who kill
their batterers go to jail 2) govt doesnt impose death penalty as
punishment
