What is a warrant in Toulmin\'s model of a syllogism? A) A legal document making it legal to search private property B) The logic that connects supporting evidence to a claim C) The numerical date on which a claim is based D) A claim based on two or more distinct premises. Solution D) A claim based on two or more distinct premises. Warrant: The warrants parallel the major premise of a syllogism (Clark 86) and explain why the data is sufficient support for the claim The warrant serves as a \"guarantee\" for the argument , demonstrating or defending how the data supports the claim. Warrants may be laws, assumptions, or beliefs . which may or may not be readily accepted by an audience. Warrants may include definitions for key terms, an argument simpler than the argument at hand but which parallels the more complex argument being made, or a representative sample, that is simple and inclusive or that illustrates a special case The Toulmin model, which was created by Stephen Toulmin in 1958, is a model that was initially used to analyze courtroom discourse and arguments. In the present day the Toulmin model is not only used for courtroom arguments but for more complex arguments in general. It is made of six key components, Data, Warrant, Backing, Claim, Qualify, and Rebuttal. The three most important aspects of the six are Claim, Backing, and Warrant. The Claim is the proposition and states what exactly it is the individual is arguing. The Backing consists of all the materials that the arguer uses to convince the audience that their claim can be trusted. The Warrant is the assumption that the audience may share about a claim that can be used to persuade the audience in the direction of the claim. The Warrant often times goes unstated. Syllogism is also a way to analyze arguments, however it differs from the Toulmin model in that is was designed to break down the more simple arguments and doesn’t analyze the argument as critically. Its main components are the Major Premise, Minor Premise, and the Conclusion. The Major Premise is a broad statement that speaks on the topic of your Claim but is not as precise. The Minor Premise speaks on your claim in a less broader sense. The Conclusion is much like the Claim in the Toulmin model, it indicates what you are trying to argue. There are three types of claims, Fact, Value, and Policy. A claim of Fact is based on facts that the audience can see as objectively verifiable. A claim of Value is based on a topic that is more or less desirable; good or bad. A claim of Policy is based on the notion that a certain law or rule should be changed, or that certain policies should be created to solve certain problems. Claim: The claim is the conclusion to be proven.

1. What is a warrant in Toulmin's model of a syllogism?
A) A legal document making it legal to search private property
B) The logic that connects supporting evidence to a claim
C) The numerical date on which a claim is based D) A claim based on two or more distinct
premises.
Solution
D) A claim based on two or more distinct premises.
Warrant:
The warrants parallel the major premise of a syllogism (Clark 86) and explain why the data is
sufficient support for the claim The warrant serves as a "guarantee" for the argument ,
demonstrating or defending how the data supports the claim. Warrants may be laws,
assumptions, or beliefs . which may or may not be readily accepted by an audience. Warrants
may include definitions for key terms, an argument simpler than the argument at hand but which
parallels the more complex argument being made, or a representative sample, that is simple and
inclusive or that illustrates a special case
