    Article I Section 10 Clause 3:

    No state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, or ships of war in time of peace, enter into any agreement or compact with another state, or with a foreign power, or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.

    Article I specifically prohibits states from keeping standing armies and entering into wars.

    Militia != Military. A militiaman is not a “troop”. Militia are not under the command of a state. Militia are under no command. Individuals may be called forth from the militia into a state or federal army.

    If there is a constitutional remedy for force to be brought to bear against a tyrannical federal government, it is only through “We The People” - the militia - taking back by force what we previously granted it in peace.
