My states constitution solves some of the problem by having the men
in the miltia elect all but the most senior of officers and the
governor who is the Commander in Chief except when in actual duty of
the federal government then the President is the Commander in Chief
but accroding to the state constitution only The Tennessee General
Assembly can call out the miltia and then only in case of invasion or
rebellion and it must declare by law that the Public saftey requires
calling out the
miltia.
The state constitution also forbids martal law, forbids
forcing people to bear arms and discourages standing armies.--- In
