Instructions

• Find a political argument. This can be from your texts, a news article, one of the presidential debates, from a work of classical political philosophy, etc. Just make sure it is related to politics in some way and that it has at least two premises. I recommend picking an argument with no more than three or four premises because, generally, the more premises there are, the more complicated the evaluation becomes.
  
  
  • 
    Include the title,
    
  
  
  • 
    Paste the link or a properly formatted citation
    
  
  
  • 
    Paste or type theexactargument as you found it.
    
  
  
  
  

From there, this assignment has exactly the same requirements as the first argument evaluation assignment. So look over the comments I provided and make sure that you include all required elements of all of the following four parts:

• 
  
  
  
  • 
    Identify the conclusion and the relevant premises
    
  
  
  • 
    Reformulate the premises and conclusion into clear concise language
    
  
  
  • 
    Present a formal argument with your reformulated language, where you clearly label the premises and conclusion(make sure you add the "therefore,...")
  
  
  • 
    Evaluate your reformulated argument in three paragraphs totaling between 200-300 words. Make sure to address each of the following four questions:
    
    
    
    • Are the premises true?
    
    
    • Do the premises adequately support the conclusion?
      (The premises in a political argument will not provide 0% support or 100% support for the conclusion but there is a lot of room between 0% and 100%)
    
    
    • Is the conclusion true?
    
    
    • How could this argument have been made stronger?
      (For this question, you can ask yourself if the same premises could support a different conclusion, or if other premises could have been included that were omitted, etc.)
    
    
    
    
  
  
  
  

I will be focusing a bit more on how you reformulate the premises and conclusions for this assignment since you have now had some practice. Review the example I added under theWeek 6 module


then reach out (before the due date and time not after) if you have questions. I suggest that you write out your assignment in a Doc or Word program first and then just copy and paste your submission in the text box. The text box will appear after you click on the 'Submit Assignment' button above.
