AP US Government
Unit 3 – Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Topic 3.5
How has the interpretation of the Second Amendment's "militia" clause persisted despite changes in modern warfare?
It's often seen as applying to individual citizens, not just formal militias.
Modern militias still require their members to own guns.
The government cannot legally interpret the Constitution differently than how it was initially written.
All citizens are required by law to participate in a militia.
