This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty…The right
of self defense is the first law of nature: in most government it has
been the study of rules to confirm this right within the narrowest
limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of
the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color of pretext
whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the
brink of destruction.
— St. George Tucker from View of the Constitution of the United States
