Constitutional  Connection:

Article 2, The Executive Branch, Section 1
"•The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that protects a right to keep and bear arms."

Analysis  of the Connection:

Some senators think people shouldn't have the right to keep and bear arms because is very dangerous to people. Kagan believes that everyone should have right to keep and bear arms especially because it's already a law. She thinks people should go by the law and that it shouldn't be changed.

This article proves Article 2, Section1 of the United States Constitution. It demonstrates reasons for why some want to keep thus law and why some don't. Some people make the claim that having the right to keep and  bear arms brings more violence and killing.  Others say that having this law keeps citizens protected from criminals. Once before  there was a case were in Chicago handguns were banned and an old man felt needed a hand gun because of the many robberies  that happen around his house. From this case it became a right  again to keep and bear arms.

I believe that Kagan is completely right because even if  this wasn't a law anymore  there would be other weapons and it would make it more difficult to protect your self.. This right has negatives and positives, but in the end i feel it is a positive law. This  article interested me because  the senators were debating on a law that was passed a long time ago.  This law is important now and days seeing crime is off the charts and people are being killing everyday in varies ways.
