Nope. You are wrong. On a number of fronts. The Federalists always wanted a federal army. But that's a minor point. The Constitution was created in the wake of Shay's Rebellion, which was put down by state militias, aka organized, state-run armies. Your "armed against the federal government" is a fantasy, not true. Not what drove the decisions. |
