For example, in the debate over gun control, does \"the right of the people to bear arms\" as stated in the Second Amendment pertain to individual citizens or regulated militias? What do scholars say? Should the Internet be regulated and censored, or does this impinge on the freedom of speech as defined in the First Amendment? These and other issues vary depending on the interpretation of the Constitution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through entertaining and informative annotations, \u003ci\u003eThe Words We Live By\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new way of looking at the Constitution.
