The Right To Exist
You may be wondering what gives the South Carolina State Militia the right to exist. The constitution of the State of South Carolina in Article 13 does this. Section 1 of Article 13 reads as follows:
SECTION 1.
Militia.
The militia of this State shall consist of all able-bodied male citizens of the State between the ages of
eighteen and forty-five years, except such persons as are now or may be exempted by the laws of the United
States or this State, or who from religious scruples may be adverse to bearing arms, and shall be organized,
officered, armed, equipped and disciplined as the General Assembly may by law direct. To read the complete South Carolina State Constitution click the button below.
