What did the Second Amendment mean to early Americans? The right to bear arms has become one of the most controversial provisions of the American Bill of Rights, but what did the founding generation mean by it? Did they understand it to imply protection of an individual or a collective right to bear arms and what were and are the ramifications of that difference?

Exploring how late-18th century Americans understood the right to bear arms, the selections expose students to ongoing scholarly debates over this topic, providing an entry into a number of the most important issues in early American historiography: the controversy over republicanism and liberalism, the tension between the states' rights and individual rights, and the place of rights and revolution in the American constitutional experience.
