Give me the Articles of Confederation. Constitution is the first document of that degree of significance in the history of western civilization that based its authority on the people rather than the Almighty. “We the people” unfortunately means what it says. The Constitution is how we got where we are today. Damn your Militia Act of 1792.
Said militia service started before the Revolution. Read a bit of history. The Militia Act of 1792, codified, to a large extent, what was already in existence. As to the Articles of Confederation, they didn’t work well, which is why we got the Constitution. Like it or not, that’s where we are today, and we’re not going back to them.
