Part of the reason for the Declaration of Independence was because of the standing armies that were among the Colonies during times of peace. Thus, in the Constitution one of the powers that congress was given was the power to raise and support armies. This was set in by Article 1, section 8: "Congress shall have the power... "to raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years."
Additionally, Posse Comitatus or Power of Country, was passed into law June 16, 1878. This was done to prevent martial law - or "military police" in the country. Posse comitatus was overturned in 2006 by HR 5122 and then was restored recently by H.R. 4986:
This spits in the face of all of that and just puts standing armies on American soil.
Happy constitution day, freedom lovers.
