These branches are not necessarily military, but are used like one when needed.

The police force is used to enforce the laws of a district, whether it be a city, state, county, or town.

The above is a common interpretation and, in my opinion, untrue. This is not what the founders meant. Domestic comes from the Latin word domus meaning house or home. In their personal writings the founders often referred to the blessings or happiness of domestic life. They meant their life at home with their families. They saw the family as the fundamental unit of society and its preservation (and freedom from government interference) as one of their highest priorities.
