State Militias

The rule of law is important to the survival and advancement of any society. Our founders recognized that civil unrest with widespread rioting, looting, and violence would undermine the authority of the government and shake the confidence of the populace. This was the reason for the formation of state militias, which have morphed into the National Guard of today. Initially these were funded by the states, but now they are largely funded by the federal government. They consist of ordinary citizens who have been trained to use military tactics and weaponry to maintain order. They can be used in the same capacity as the regular military and in fact can be called to serve as active-duty participants when necessary. Even though they are called the National Guard, each unit remains under the control of the respective state governors.
