Presumption
Presumption identifies existing beliefs, policies, practices, or institutions
Presumption is determined by prevailing beliefs of the audience
Presumption is a decision rule that determines what the advocate must prove in testing the proposition as a hypothesis

Burden of proof
The advocate has the responsibility to prove the argument this is the burden of proof
In fulfilling the burden of proof, present beliefsand behaviors described by presumption are judged and evaluated based on the available evidence and an alternative pattern of thought or action is proposed.

Prima Facie Case
The advocate has the responsibility of presenting prima facie case, one that stands at face value and is consistent and complete
The form and content of the argument determines its face value
A prima facie case must be both topical, within bounds and inherent, having; cause, permanence, and reform
Presentation of a prima facie case causes the suspension of presumption unless it is successfully challenged

The Toulmin Model
![Page 11: Logos](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072015/56813079550346895d9655a3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Toulmin Model Primary Triad
Claim: is a conclusion that does not stand alone but requires further proof before the audience is willing to accept it as verified
Grounds: are information of fact or opinion used to provide verification for the claim; commonly known by the generic label evidence
Warrant: is the reasoning that justifies the mental leap from grounds to claim, certifying that given the grounds, the claim is true or probable

The Toulmin Model Secondary Triad
Backing: provides the 'credentials'that help establish the legitimacy of the inferential leap from grounds to claim
Qualifiers: show the amount, or degree, of force that a claim possesses
Rebuttals: limit claims, showing circumstances under which they may not be true and anticipating objections to the claim
