From your own post for Christ's sake! He is talking about the people at large is he not?
So you're saying "the people at large" meant everyone, and that Hamilton was suggesting everyone in the United States be assembled once or twice a year to see that they were properly armed and equipped.
Again I will say it very slow for you. I didn't say anything. Hamilton himself did!
Nice dodge by the way as he was also referring about the problem of assembly and training the "people at large". Simple logistics and the reason for the 2 classes of Militia.
No. When he says "all the militia" he's referring to all individual citizens.
"Hamilton himself did!"
Hamilton said, "Little more can reasonably be aimed at, with respect to the people at large, than to have them properly armed and equipped; and in order to see that this be not neglected, it will be necessary to assemble them once or twice in the course of a year."
Are you interpreting "the people at large" as everyone? That could explain the confusion.
