The army used to consist of state militias. The Dick Act (officially The Militia Act of 1903) formalized the militias desired by the Founding Fathers into the National Guard.
This preempted The Militia Act of 1792 which required every able‑bodied male citizen aged 18–45 to enroll in the militia, undergo periodic training, and be subject to federal call‑up.
I think we should start looking at laws that that need to be repealed (e.g. The Dick Act, the 17th Amendment, etc.)
