1. Concerning Bridgett's question about the use of a modern day militia in my opinion they can be used for many things. Some of them being to defend American soil, help the state's police with riots, or even patrolling the borders of our country. The National Guard also has helped states during environmental disasters such as Hurricane Katrina. I believe there is still a use for them and that they are a much needed part of our country's defense.
2. Regarding Ben's question about why the founding fathers made it difficult to change amendments because they didn't the liberties of the people to be subject to the whims of a political party or any branch of government. They also assure that there is continuity in the nation regarding rights and liberties. If the founding fathers made them too easy to change then amendments would constantly be changing in favor of whoever has a majority in the government.
