which provides for compulsory service
II divides the militia into active" and
~'unorganized" branches. The morgan
ICED militia consists OF al able bod cd

exception of a few designated classes.
The active militia is the organized Ma

Governor could call out the organized
militia. but under the new law he also
can call out the "~unorganized militia
when the quota OF the active militia
fails to measure up TO Federal require

effect in the event Of "A national militia
