Fingerprinting and photography weren't part of the IDs of the 18th Century, but gunpowder and personally owned cannons were. Hmmm...sounds like they were willing to live with our Constitution, even with lesser ID than today, and with weapons of quite-a-bit-of-destruction. You see, it was the oppressive British who tried to take away the cannons and gunpowder, and the Constitution/BOR was written under the feeling that was a bad idea.
You've just "removed all doubt." (see Abraham Lincoln)
