THE SECOND IT WAS AMENDED:
IN 1791, Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State, certified the Bill of Rights. But what were the events that culminated into that “second” it was incorporated into the constitution? In other words, what were the prevailing thoughts of that epoch that lead to the enactment of a law as contentious as the Second Amendment? And furthermore, what is the greater implication of this? The then embryo nation was conceived in an era of vociferous noises of what it meant for a man to be free. This movement is a peculiar one in the Enlightenment era. However, must we bear and keep arms to enjoy the liberties a liberal society has to offer? At the heart of this book, is the examination of the ideals of what “rights” are and the justified efforts to secure them. Since the days of Socrates, these have been debated. Notwithstanding, that was eons ago. The most important element of all rights enumerated by law, or intrinsically endowed, is that one man’s right must not encroach on another’s: rights are not a zero sum game. Therefore, leaving the Enlightenment time behind, and the classical era of Athens’s philosophy, we must now be ready to challenge old assumptions, while learning from them, and establishing fitting ethos for this generation.

Born in Dallas, Texas, and a resident of New England, Peace is a devout political observer. And while he has engaged in other writing and career endeavors, he presents his analysis of the Second Amendment as his debut publication on the subjects of ethics, politics, and history. This generation has rolled in in a milieu of hotly contested ideologies. The millennials, (also Tim Peaces generation), are in an age which could be one of a turning point as that of the Civil Rights movement of the 20th century. Taken together, he aspires to inject a forceful thought into todays sociopolitical dialogue. Peace is not a strategist, a politician (in fact, he is registered as an independent), and not a legal scholar, however, civic-minded. He shares interest in science, poetry, history, and political dialogue, and hopes to unveil publication of more literature.
