Article. 1 Section. 10. "No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, ...keep Troops,... or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay." Ask yourself, if a state can not keep troops, how can the state defend its self if invaded? Now if a state keeps paid standing militia members, would not the state be keeping troops? So sense the state can not keep troops, how was the state expected to defend itself if invaded? The answer is the Citizen's militia members! Militia armies are good at defending their own countries, but are no good at attacking other countries, and thus avoid foreign wars. Both militia defense and neutrality thus promote the ideals of peace.
