This work presents an examination of the intellectual history of the American right to keep and bear arms, as well as its embodiment in the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. The document presents the history of ideas surrounding the concept of the right to keep and bear arms, from early Western Civilization through various channels, including English traditions, and how they contributed to the unique perspective on the right to keep and bear arms that emerged in America. Explores not only English contributions, but those of the Scots, and philosophers throughout Europe and Western Civilization, as well as the modifying factors in the Americas that acted upon these precursors. Examines how and why the founding generation developed the particularly American expression of the concept of a right to keep and bear arms, contributing to a greater understanding of the involved concepts as well as their founders' intent in including the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights.
