Identify the major components of a general argument

The components of a general argument are the claims, reasoning, support, and warrant. Claims are statements about what is true or good or about what should be done or believed. Reasons are statements that support a given claim, making a claim more than a mere assertion. Support substantiates the reasons offered and helps compel audiences to accept an advanced claim. Warrants are the inferences or assumptions that connect the support to the claim.
