Argument Venn Diagram  Three intersecting circles (two at the top one at the bottom) that picture a categorical argument by depicting the relationship between its three terms.  The relation of the minor term to the middle term is expressed by the overlap of the left circle with the bottom circle (this is the minor premise). The relation of the major term to the middle term is expressed by the over lap of the right circle with the bottom circle (this is the major premise).  The relation of the minor term to the major term is expressed by the overlap of the left circle with the right one (this is the concluding statement).
