Answer 2

True

The role of militia, also known as civilian military service and duty, in the United States is complex and has transformed over time. From Old English milite meaning soldiers (plural), militisc meaning military and also classical Latin milit-, miles meaning soldier.

The early colonists of America considered the militia an important social structure, necessary to provide defense and public safety. Just prior to the American Revolutionary War, on October 26th, 1774, the Massachusetts Provincial Congress, observing the British military buildup, deemed their militia resources to be insufficient: the troop strength, "...including the sick and absent, amounted to about seventeen thousand men . . . this was far short of the number wanted, that the council recommended an immediate application to the New England governments to make up the deficiency..." Politically, the militia was highly popular during the postwar period, though to some extent, based more on pride of victory in the recent war than on the realities.
