Answer 1

An argument made against a claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

A counterclaim is a claim rebutting or opposing a first claim made. It introduces reasoning behind an argument, and evidence that support it. This type of argumentation is possible whenever there are two or more different ideas or opinions over an issue, and both parties have evidence to prove what they are saying. Claims and Counterclaims can be found in essays, scientific documents, argumentative writing, debates, and litigation.

Answer 2

A counterclaim is an argument made against a claim because the meaning of counter means against like if someone says democrats rule another may say republicans are better, that's their view against yours so that's why its important to have a claim for a counterclaim, basically a reason why your statement is right. *The example of the politics is not used to offend any democrats or republicans but rather its used as a teaching example.
