Abstract

The author comments on interpretations of the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution regarding the right to bear arms, suggesting that it was designed to protect an individual right rather than states' rights to raise militias. He looks at the history of the Second Amendment from its creation in 1781 through the end of the Civil War, covering Supreme Court decisions on its legal meanings.
