About this title

Synopsis

A collection of previously published historical papers gathered to present students with the main historical tendencies in the debate over the intended meaning of the Second Amendment of the Constitution. The articles explore whether the amendment (and, by extension, the Constitution as a whole) should be interpreted as a liberal individualist or republican communitarian document, whether the views of the Federalists and the Antifederalists should be given equal weight, and whether the Second Amendment confers a "right of revolution" against the United States.
