Well, I am so sorry about last week. my excuse is SPEECH AND DEBATE took REGION! so i put my aff and neg case.
Neg points
I stand in firm negation for the resolution Just governments ought to ensure food security for their citizens.My value for this round is Justice and my Value Criterion is liberalism.
Liberalism is merriam websters is defined as  a theory  emphasizing individual freedom from restraint and usually based on free competition, the self-regulating market, and the gold standard
The definition of justice is blacks law is Protecting rights and punishing wrongs using fairness. And the proper administration of law.
Definitions  merriam websters  Just government's : (m) a government that is fair to all the people that it governs, follows that which is moral.  
Food security- the state of having reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food.
Neg overview-  Commonly, the concept of food security is defined as including both physical and economic access to food that meets people's dietary needs as well as their food preferences. Malnutrition and food borne diarrhea are become double burden. Many people think that food security can solve many things but in reality they can not. Food security is a bad policy across the board. Food security causes unnecessary problems that can lead to economic downfall and the policy of food security not being defective

  1. Food Security violates freedom.The Stanford website states that there are two types of freedom. The most common type of freedom is  defined as freedom from constraint or the interference of others, is the most common type of freedom.  Laissez Faire is a famous world renowned french saying “"Let it be, that should be the motto of all public powers, since the world was civilized ... That we cannot grow except by lowering our neighbors is a detestable notion! Only malice and malignity of heart is satisfied with such a principle and our (national) interest is opposed to it. Let it be, for heaven's sake! Let it be!)  In the Declaration of Independence there is one phrase  "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" ] The quote roots from Humanism which is philosophy that emphasizes the value of individual agency among humans. According to that phrase a just government has no business getting into something that is in mans freedom, they have no business taking away freedom.(which is the laymans definition of liberalism) It is not moral for a just government to take away freedom or agency for food and therefore food security is not moral.
2. There is no such thing as a right to food. 1981 Nobel peace prize winning economist Amartya Sen did a study on the right to food, poverty,  and famine times discovered  through studying  that  hunger in India, China, Bangladesh, and Saharan countries from the 1940s onward. Sen Documented that famines occurred amid ample food supply, even in some countries exporting food. His conclusion was that famine is not a crisis of productivity but a crisis of power within the governments. Sen also concluded that the right to food is only about holding governments responsible for things beyond their ability to address(natural disasters). There is no such thing as a right to food because the human right to food is a scheme to hold governments accountable for things that are beyond anyone's control.  Holding the government responsible for things that they can't control is not moral. It is not an obligation for a just government to provide food security because there is no such thing as a human right to food.  Most people do not even recognize the right to food as a human right. There is no such thing as a human right to food.
A just government is not obligated to provide food security for its citizens because it  does not follow the most internationally recognized form of liberty, there is no such thing as a right to food, and food security is not needed. Liberalism is personal agency, and food security is not worth taking away a right for something that takes away agency . Food security goes against the most common type of liberty which correlates to individual agancy or liberalism.  Food security is not a right, and involves the restriction or removal of a freedom (justice) of agency (liberalsim) which is not just. Food security is not just, therefore the just government is not morally obligated to have it.  The resolution is not moral because it violates the rights of liberalism . Food security is not just because it takes away personal freedom therefore I stand in firm negation that the just governments ought to ensure food security for their citizens.


The cooralation between justice and liberalism is the both deal with rights
I stand in firm affirmation for the resolution just governments ought to ensure food security for their citizens value for this round is Justice and my Value Criterion is social contriact
Social contract in black’s law Dictionary  is defined as an implicit agreement among the members of a society to cooperate for social benefits, organised behaviour in a group or community that is unwritten but agreed upon and establishes responsibilities and rights
The definition of justice is blacks law is the quality of being just, impartial or fair.
Definitions  merriam websters or blacks law
Just government's : (m) a government that is fair to all the people that it governs, following  that which is moral.  
Food security- the state of having reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food.(m)
Aff Overview -
Food insecurity affects development because children who are malnourished suffer physical mental, and cognitive damage. Thereby affecting their future and economic well being. For developing countries the effects can impact their ability to raise a productive workforce for generations. While the short term food insecurity effects can lead to conflict and political instability.
Food security is Moral because it is  achieved by social contract through: freedom of want, Food security in times of natural disaster and food security will significantly reduce hunger.
  1. Contention 1. The right to food is a basic human right. Franklin D. Roosevelt gave his famous four freedoms speech His third out of the four essential freedoms was the freedom from want. President Roosevelt said “The third is freedom from want, which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants”.   The Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy (3 best school in United Stated) reported that there are two types of freedom. Positive freedom is the  freedom and ability to pursue one’s goals. Protecting positive liberty means ensuring that every citizen has the basic necessities like education, shelter, healthcare and food. The right to food security is mentioned in several  documents: Internal Law , the Universal Declaration of human rights(art.25), the eternal covenant on economic social cultural rights(art 2), the Declaration of Rights of a child(principle 2& 4), and the Universal declaration on eradication of hunger and malnutrition(section a,f, principle 1,3,5).  All  of these 5  world recognized documents state that there is such thing as a right to food. In the Universal Declaration of human rights article 25 states “Everyone has right two standard of living including food and the right to security of the standard of living" Louise O. Fresco from the University Amsterdam in 2009 said "In the end food security is the responsibility of the state the state has a role in providing the conditions for suitable foods systems" Food security would create a social agreement between the citizens of a just government making it in social contract and therefore, just.  There is such thing as a right to food.The right to food because it is recognized by many world renowned documents.
  2. In times of natural disaster food security will provide food for those who are affected by disaster and are not able to get food. The Just government wherever it is, is obligated  to supply a steady constant food supply for its citizens. Globewire reports that during the Icelandic Volcano eruption the country of Iceland was in havoc and was in desperate need for food, Airplanes were grounded and FOOD and other basic essentials were not making it into Iceland. Food security is a mandatory job for a just government because in the event that there is a natural disaster the government would have means to supply its population with food security until more available.  In matter of natural disaster those affected  own the right to not have to worry about their food. When food security is installed justice is achieved. When those affected by a natural disaster come together to get food social contract is achieved because people come together food is the agreement, social benefits is the food. A Just government is obligated to provide food security because in times of natural disaster the government will have food to feed its citizens  who are trying to rebuild their lives.
  3. On, to my last contention, Food security significantly reduces hunger. 1 billion people or 1 in 4 are starving. Part of a “just” governments job is to help care for its citizens. A just government no matter where it is will have people who are starving, every nation does. It is then in the just governments job description to help the starving.  It is therefore within a just governments job to provide food security because it will reduce hunger significantly. Food security would help reduce hunger because it provides a steady amount of food for the population. The Youth and United Nations states that the number 1 way to end world hunger is by food security . Social Contract and hunger go hand because in social contract people agree to certain standards and rules and since it is within a government's job to provide for the hungry it is moral and in just. Food security is moral because it is a governments job to install it to handle hunger.Food Security is moral because it will reduce hunger in the just government.
In conclusion food security is moral because it is just achieved through social contract. Food security is a basic human right and is mention numerous times as such Internal Law , the Universal Declaration of human rights(art.25), the eternal covenant on economic social cultural rights(art 2), the Declaration of Rights of a child(principle 2& 4), and the Universal declaration on eradication of hunger and malnutrition(section a,f, principle 1,3,5). In the Universal Declaration of human rights. Food security helps reduce hunger. It is within a just governments obligation to have food security because it is a basic human right, food security will provide stability for those in natural disasters, food security will also end hunger. Food security through social contract between the citizens of the just government achieves justice and is so moral.
