Answer:

The paragraph in which the author identifies a source of debate is the following: "... being necessary to the security of a free state"

Explanation:

This phrase points to the heart of the main reason behind this amendment; a state should provide security to its citizens by the means of giving each private citizen the right to bear arms. This point is debatable, since providing security does not necessarily imply that each citizen should bear arms, since this could possibly lead to a feeling of insecurity amongst each citizen. Since the statement above is questionable, it is a source of debate.

Why where the liberated countries so unstable
aev [14]
     People often obey a gevernment out of habit. Obviously habit is not something a new government has on it's side.
      People hate a government which hurts them. Because people had time to adapt to old laws (murder illegal? work as potato farmer rather than assasin!) they are more hurt by old governments than new ones.
      Whenever a country is 'liberated' either by external or internal forces, the liberators make all kinds of promises to all kinds of people. Some of these promises at least will be broken, causing members of the new ruling class to turn against eachother.
       And often new governments lose the services of the most experienced police and propaganda men who worked for the old regime and our thus less able to defend themselves than established ones.
