AP US Government
Unit 3 – Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Topic 3.5
How does Presser v. Illinois (1886) vary from United States v. Miller (1939) in terms of state regulation on firearms?
While Presser upheld state regulation on militia activity, Miller tied federal regulations more explicitly to militia service under federal law.
Both cases rejected any form of state control over firearms.
Presser challenged state authority while Miller supported it fully.
Both questioned federal government's role in regulating firearm possession related to militia service.
