Answer 2

Answer: The Second Amendment gives the citizen the right to keep and bear arms.

Explanation: The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which was ratified in 1791, gives citizens the right to keep and bear arms. This Second Amendment was inspired by the English Bill of Rights (1689), which stated that English people had the right to defend themselves from aggression. James Madison, one of the Founding Fathers, strongly supported the right to keep and bear arms since he believed this would reduce danger; however, this right has been the center of heated debate mainly during the last two decades.
