This express provision of the constitution debunks the illogical claim that the 2nd amendment was written to protect citizens from the government they elected. It states "To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the nation, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions."
The founding fathers believed in the ballot box, not armed resistance to the government they just created. They expressly gave congress the power to crush people who refused to abide their democratically elected government.
