I think in the second amendment "the people" are quite clearly the citizens so they can secure their own "free" state. Where the first amendment is about limiting what the government can do so they can't make laws against free speech.
- SV_BubbleTime 6mo agoHow odd that one amendment away the word “people” has two different meanings.
- keithnz 6mo agoit doesn't. Read the first amendment carefully. People is only used in one specific part, the bulk is about limiting what the lawmakers can do. free speech has no reference to "people"
- SV_BubbleTime 6mo agoAll amendments are about what limiting lawmakers can do. Even the second. People is only used in one specific part… ok? How does that square your idea of 1A with SCOTUS being very recently clear on 2A not immediately applying to non-citizens?
