You need to choose a debatable issue&#8211;an issue that invites several positions.<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Claims and Counterclaims<\/span>. A claim is a statement that something is right or that something should be done. Example of a claim:<em style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>No other major democracy uses the death penalty<\/em>.<br \/>\n A counterclaim is also a claim. However, it is the claim of the<br \/>\nopposition. Your essay will include a couple of claims that you will<br \/>\nsupport and a couple of counterclaims that you will refute.<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Thesis<\/span>. The thesis is the major claim that your paper<br \/>\nwill make. So the thesis is also a statement that something is right or<br \/>\nthat something should be done. It is just broader than the other claims<br \/>\nused in the paper. If your thesis is:<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><em style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">the death penalty should be abolished<\/em>, then one of your claims could be&#8211; No other major democracy uses the death penalty.

How and\/or why claims and evidence support the thesis or major claim.<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Refutations are rebuttals.
