The 2nd Amendment was added to the constitution to protect <u>American citizens' right to keep and bear arms. </u>

The Second Amendment (December 1791) is one of 10 amendments that are part of the Bill of Rights, it states the following:

<em>"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."</em>

Even though the statute aimed to support the rights of self-defense or defense of the state and resistance to oppression in more hostile times, it is still debated nowadays, regarding whether it protects a private right of individuals or militia organizations to keep and bear arms.

lions [1.4K]
Enlightened despots were kings and queens who tried to incorporate the ideas of the Enlightenment into their rule, while keeping their traditional powers.  Enlightened despots such as Frederick II of Prussia and Maria Theresa of Austria tried to improve areas such as farming, industry, and education.  They were also patrons of the arts and began many humanitarian reforms, like abolishing the use of torture.  Maria Theresa's son, Joseph II, was considered the most radical of the enlightened despots because of the extreme changes he made when he came to power in 1780.  (Image:  Courtesy of Wikipedia) Joseph II abolished serfdom, made taxes equal for both nobles and peasants, and granted freedom of the press to writers.  He also confiscated Catholic Church property and used the money to build hospitals.  His actions ultimately failed because he angered too many people.  Nobles rebelled against him and he was forced to cancel many of these changes.
