Think about the debate and which claims were more clearly supported by reasons and evidence. Evaluate in a three paragraph essay (4-5 sentences each). Which candidate do you think proposed a more compelling argument about inflation? Support your claim with specific data presented by the candidates. Be sure to mention at least one counterpoint, and refute this point with evidence.

Hello. You have not informed the debate to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

In general, we can say that the candidate who presented more convincing arguments about inflation, was the one who presented evidence, that is, he showed information that proves that the arguments have real basis and that they are true, and can be confirmed by anyone who searches about this.

To present a counterpoint to this argument, you must present information that might contradict the argument, however, right after that you must refute this counterpoint, showing that it does not apply to reality.

President Nixon proposed a more compelling argument against inflation, providing more evidence against such. This debate( in a first person point- of- view ) was created for Americans, to influence them. The two presidents both had a different view on the subject, it showing in their debate. Kennedy believing that Americans can do better, while Nixon arguing saying that the government worked hard enough.

President Nixon believed that the government worked hard for the last seven years to boost up the economy. He believes that they didn't need better, and that their economy has already risen by 15% in the last seven years. Nixon provided more evidence, which therefore would encourage the audience. Such an argument would already compel the audience to take his side on the debate. 

Of course Kennedy's claim should also be taken into account. Americans can always do better, and there is always room for improvement. Though since he didn't provide much more than just, " We can do better" his argument could easily be ignored, or deemed unimportant. Nixon, on the other hand provided statistics on how well the economy was doing, which makes a more compelling argument. 

- I know it's not the best, but its better than one-word answers or one asking which debate. I do recomend rewritting this a bit though, so that your teachers dont  catch you cheating.
