For a long time now, it was believed that James Wilson had written only two drafts of the Constitution. Now it appears that researcher Lorianne Updike Toler may have discovered a third draft that was previously unknown.
Naturally, given the roots of the Second Amendment and the great debate over its meaning, finding an early draft of the Constitution has the potential to add new information to that debate on that amendment, as well as other aspects of Constitutional Law by showing the thought process and changes made as the Constitution was drafted.
