Webster: a force superior to any body of regular troops
"Before
a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in
almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot
enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of people are
armed, and constitute a force superior to any body of regular troops
that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States." - Noah
Webster
