When that was written, who were "the people"?

The people who wrote "WE the People... establish this Constitution?"

Women? Children? Non-landowners? Non-voters? Slaves? Non-citizens?

Who were "the people" referred to in the second amendment? Born to Conserve said it referred to "we individuals", not a collective group.

What if the government, from the smallest police department to the FBI was restricted by the same laws? Hmmmm....something to dream about!
