Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A moral argument, just like any other type of argument, attempts to provide rational support to a conclusion. Moral arguments differ in containing a prescriptive premise (a premise that is a moral claim). The point of moral argument is to determine the truth about some moral issue (either on a particular moral issue or a general moral theory) and to lead to actions in line with that conclusion.
