Declaration of Independence "all men were created equal" and have an inherent right to "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness."Premise *needed for deductive argumentthe truth, value, or belief from which we deduce an argument. Satisfies 2 things: general enough that audience is likely to accept it, thus establishing common ground, and specific enough to prepare way for argumentation to follow
treating an opinion that is open to question as if it were already proved or disproved; to begin with a premise that is similar to the conclusion (goes in a circle)ie. women have a right to choose if they want to have an abortion or not, therefor abortions should be allowedThe unborn has a right to life, therefor abortion is immoral.
