Deductive and Inductive Arguments What are deductive and inductive arguments? To begin, a deductive argument is a constructed logic that contains two or more premises and a conclusion.

An inductive argument, provides probable evidence or an assertion in the premises for the truth of its conclusion. An inductive argument allows to make a broader generalization.
