Common Sense in the Second Amendment: Eighteenth-Century English and the U.S. Bill of Rights
Common Sense in the Second Amendment: Eighteenth-Century English and the U.S. Bill of Rights
This book analyses the words "infringe" and "abridge" to boost an accurate understanding of the Second Amendment. The wording of the first and second amendments was shaped by the period when the Bill of Rights was created by the authors and ratified by the states and was shaped by previous centuries of English usage and etymology. The language of 1789 should be an important element in ongoing discussion of gun control policies, a crucial issue for the people and our courts.
