“We the People” in the preamble is a “big P”.
In section 2, the house of representatives is a “big P”.
Section 6, second paragraph, “any Person” is a “big P” referring to office holders.
Section 7, refers to congressmen as “big P’ “People”.
You get the idea.

in the second amendment,and in the bill of rights, “people” is “little P”.

Two different “people”.

That was my opinion. Also, it would make one wonder why all the other 9 amendments were directed at the individual’s rights, and this one gave a collective right.

My Constitution has it as a capital P, though there may be different versions floating around.
