Hi,
I found the following "premise" example sentences from Longman dictionary.
1). The idea that there is life on other planets is the central premise of the novel.
2). the premise that an accused person is innocent until they are proved guilty.
In the first examlple, the premise is an idea.
But in the second examlple, I don't think it is a complete sentence because the structure is:
the premise that an accused person is innocent until they are proved guilty.
There is no object in the second example, is it correct?
Thanks.
