"What is your point."

My point is --" Posted by justshutupandtakeit to gatex On News/Activism 02/10/2004 10:38:44 AM PST #279 of 440
The members of the militia which was stated as a justification for the 2d. Is the "people" the same as "an individual person?" Wonder why the amendment was not written to say "...the right of citizens or inhabitants?" This isn't a trick question. Do you have any idea why that particular wording was selected "

So I pointed out to you that "the people is used in several places in the Constitution and asked you about it.

You keep avoiding it.

Also used in the constitution is "person," "persons," "citizens," Had the 2d read "...the right of citizens to..."
could have been an alternative wording but wasn't chosen.
