Answer:
<em>The purpose of a debate during the federal legislate process is for all parties involved to bring forward their cases and their reasons for either opposing or defending a new bill.</em>
Explanation:
The American democratic system ensures that people can influence a bill through their chosen representatives.
Hence, before a new bill is passed and turned into a Federal law, senators are given a chance to discuss the merits of the proposed bill
Since, all representatives have to vote on passing a bill, this gives a chance for all kinds of debates and points of views to be heard. It is possible that with a constructive discussion and criticisms, the bill can be amended to ensure something that can be accepted by the majority.
