In 1991 Elaine Scarry, now at Harvard, wrote a monograph in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review. The article is retrievable online here:

Along the way to making a case for wholesale review of U.S. nuclear-weapons control policy, Scarry usefully reviewed the militia laws since 1792, including the relevant acts governing the National Guard whose constitutional problems she illuminates as a side issue to her main thesis.

She shows that the Framers fully intended that the People be armed, and that they intended that the nation, for the sake of the People's liberty, rely primarily on the Militia for its security.
