Paper Summary:
This paper discusses how the United States Supreme Court has heard only five cases in relation to the Second Amendment to the Constitution. These cases include US v. Cruikshank, Presser v. Illinois, Miller v. Texas, US v. Miller, and Lewis v. US. In 1876 US v. Cruikshank was brought before the Supreme Court. The paper reviews the case of 1876, when U.S. v. Cruikshank was brought before the Supreme Court.
