Date: 2007-02-14 02:54 pm (UTC)I disagree with Banner on the main point, but he's right about this. I once had someone tell me that "under no definition" was I a part of a militia. I went to his bookcase, got his (abridged, yet) dictionary and looked it up. The first definition included both of us.
The important thing about understanding the Constitution is determining the intent of the writers, which often requires knowledge of archaic terminology. However, taking "militia" to mean "every legally responsible, physically able adult" seems to still be valid today.
