“Yeah that argument really went over in 1832, didn't it?”

OK Smart Guy

Where does the General Government obtain this authority to regulate a God Given Right?

Does Mr. Madison have it wrong?


“Let a standing army, fully equal to the resources of the country, be formed; and let it be entirely at the devotion of the federal government; still it would not be going too far to say, that the State governments, with the people on their side, would be able to repel the danger. . . To these would be opposed a militia amounting to near half a million of citizens with arms in their hands, officered by men chosen from among themselves, fighting for their common liberties, and united and conducted by governments possessing their affections and confidence.”

P.S
Tyrant

So you're saying no government anywhere has the right to oppose a rebellion?
