"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense" - Alexander Hamilton

"I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them." - George Mason

"The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peacable citizens from keeping their own arms." - Samuel Adams

Can also cite the clause of congressional duties to maintain the armed militia, citizenry.
