Specificatii
Americans are deeply divided over the Second Amendment. Some
passionately assert that the Amendment protects an individual's
right to own guns. Others, that it does no more than protect the
right of states to maintain militias. Now, in the first and only
comprehensive history of this bitter controversy, Saul Cornell
proves conclusively that both sides are wrong. Cornell, a leading
constitutional historian, shows that the Founders understood the
right to bear arms as neither an individual nor a collective right,
but as a civic right--an obligation citizens owed to the state to
arm themselves so that they could participate in a well regulated
militia. He shows how the modern collective right view of the
Second Amendment, the one federal courts have accepted for over a
hundred years, owes more to the Anti-Federalists than the Founders.
Likewise, the modern individual right view emerged only in the
nineteenth century. The modern debate, Cornell reveals, has its
roots in the nineteenth century, during America's first and now
largely forgotten gun violence crisis, when the earliest gun
control laws were passed and the first cases on the right to bear
arms came before the courts. Equally important, he describes how
the gun control battle took on a new urgency during Reconstruction,
when Republicans and Democrats clashed over the meaning of the
right to bear arms and its connection to the Fourteenth Amendment.
When the Democrats defeated the Republicans, it elevated the
collective rights theory to preeminence and set the terms for
constitutional debate over this issue for the next century. A Well
Regulated Militia not only restores the lost meaning of the
original Second Amendment, but it provides a clear historical road
map that charts how we have arrived at our current impasse over
guns. For anyone interested in understanding the great American gun
debate, this is a must read.
