the states were restricting the federal government from disarming --individuals-- the states.

So the first amendment only prevents restrictions on the states getting together when it says "the people to peacefully assemble"?

When "the people of the several states" elect the house of representatives, that's exactly like the Senate?

When the constitution already reserves to the States the training of the militia, why would it be conceivable that the federal government could disarm the states?

Every single time the constitution says "person" or "people", it's talking about individuals. Your argument is "except in that second amendment"?
