“Alexander Hamilton wrote extensively about what we’ll-regulated meant in Federalist #29. He also wrote about what could reasonably be expected from a civilian force preoccupied by their daily lives.”

Hamilton, as many of the Founders, were strongly opposed to a standing army. They saw a militia of the People as a bulwark against a government prone to tyranny and that government using a standing army to effect that tyranny.
