In this argument, the arguer endeavors to convince us that …… Though well thoughtful and logically organized at first thought, the argument can barely withstand any scientific scrutiny for its several critical flaws so that we can undoubtedly present a viable counter argument that.....
The major and most apparent problem with this argument is that the arguer simply deludes himself in that the evidence offered in support of the conclusion pales in comparison with other disconfirming evidence. Since all of the available evidence must be considered, it is never reasonable to consider only the evidence that supports a conclusion and to discard the evidence that contradicts it. ……….. A single imaginable instance which discredits the argument is that….. Another possibility is that …… In order for the arguer to make his argument convincingly, he should prelude from ignoring a host of other variables that weakens the argument.
Another weakness that undermines the line of evidential reasoning is that the survey lends nothing to the credibility of the arguer’s conclusion. With regard to the report mentioned in the argument, it should be carefully screened for error, fraud, and appropriateness. Unfortunately, several doubtful points prevent the survey to be substantial, unequivocal and conceivably. ……
What further weakens the argument is that ……
Given the fact that the argument relies on certain gratuitous assumptions that render it implausible, it is of great difficult for us to be justified in placing considerable confidence in it unless the arguer crystallizes everything for his conclusion.

39. The Declaration of Independence concerns the grounds for revolution, specifically, the American Revolution. Two related questions are at issue here. First, under what conditions is it just and necessary that a people rebel against the established government in order to create a new, independent government? Second, do these conditions obtain in the American colonies? With regard to the first question, Jefferson claims that the subjects of an established government have a right and a responsibility to rebel when that government behaves tyrannically. He supports this claim by asserting that it is a "self-evident" truth that "all men are created equal . . . [and] endowed by their creator with certain inherent and inalienable rights," and that they are therefore obligated to defend these rights against tyranny. With regard to the second question, Jefferson claims that the British government has indeed behaved tyrannically. He supports this position with a long list of grievances, including: various attempts by the Crown to prevent the colonists from exercising the limited powers of self-government promised to them; the forced imposition upon the colonists of standing armies; the Crown's failure to protect the colonists against their enemies; and the Crown's attempts to incite the Native American population to attack the colonists. In short, Jefferson argues that people have a right and a responsibility to defend themselves against tyranny, even when that tyranny is perpetrated against them by their own government. Because the British government has continually behaved tyrannically in the American colonies, the American Revolution, according to Jefferson, is just and necessary.
