What did the citizen soldiers want?

Answer 1

The soldiers in most cases (such as Sparta) were already determining the role of their city-states in Greece. Some other, besides Sparta, sought to make the soldiers the primary political power, because of their importance to maintaining the independence of the city.

It was only after repeated conquests by Persia, and then by Philip II of Macedon, that any sense of continuing unity was achieved among the disparate cities of Greece. This was not enough to prevent their conquest by the Romans.

They were farmers, and wanted to protect their land and crops from both invading nomads and adjacent city states seeking to pirate their land.

Other answers include:

• More power in the government
• Free weapons

Answer 2

The citizen soldier wanted their freedom and liberty they had fought for and won, and in many cases died for, to be guaranteed and protected from future tyrants. This was accomplished by the signing of the U.S. Constitution after the Bill of Rights were added. James Madison was largely responsible for writing and getting the Bill of rights added to the Constitution through the first 10 amendments, Of which the 2nd amendment guaranteed the right to Keep and Bear arms.
