>From Wikipedia: The Second Amendment, as passed by the House and Senate, reads:
" A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. " The copies distributed to the states, and then ratified by them, had different capitalization and punctuation: " A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. " Both versions are commonly used in official government publications. The original hand-written copy of the Bill of Rights, approved by the House and Senate, was prepared by scribe William Lambert and hangs in the National Archives. ============================================================================ ================== I find it interesting, the note about the capitalizations. The second copy appears to place an emphasis on People, rather than the government. Therein, is your answer. The government should fear the People moreso than the People fear the government.
