Federalist No. 29
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Federalist No. 29 is an essay by Alexander Hamilton, the twenty-ninth of the Federalist Papers. It was published on January 9, 1788 under the pseudonym Publius, the name under which all the Federalist Papers were published. It is titled "Concerning the Militia." Unlike the rest of the Federalist Papers, which were published more or less in order, No. 29 did not appear until after Federalist No. 36.

[edit] Brief Precis
Hamilton states that a federally regulated militia will be more uniform, and will benefit from the uniformity. He argues that an excessively regulated militia can harm a nation's work force, and that a smaller, but still well-regulated militia is the answer. He says the militia, as it is directly of the people, is not a danger to liberty.
