Disclaimer: this is just based on my own instincts as a native speaker of English; I'm actually not sure whether there's a strict rule about this.
You argue with a person (or a group, etc). You argue against a concept, an idea, a proposal, etc. So, these sentences would all be correct:
John argued with Steve.
John argued with the jury.
John argued against Steve's proposal.
John argued against the verdict.
John argued against adopting a puppy.
I believe that technically, you can also 'argue with' an idea - for instance, you might see something like 'you can't argue with the facts.' But the above is the most common usage.
