In America's Founding Period, the inclusion of the Second Amendment was driven principally by two factors. The first was the existing tradition for Great Britain of the 'right to bear arms.' The second was the practical experience of Americans in their turbulent times, which included lawlessness in many outlying areas, the hostility of Natives on the frontier, and the recent need for personal arms in the struggle to win independence from Great Britain.

Aboriginal people gained the vote in Commonwealth territories in 1965, and earlier in different states, according to various state laws.
