"He concludes…be ignored" You should also mention his argument that breaches of Constitutional restrictions on the raising/keeping of an army, which he sees as inevitable when required, will also lower the respect for the Constitution and lower the gravity of the situation if the Constitution is ever violated without cause.
"would require control over both the legislature and the executive" The more pertinent argument he makes is that if such a collusion were to exist, the legislature and executive could also easily evade constitutional restrictions by fabricating pretenses to say that the nation is not in a state of peace.
You also entirely ignore his argument that restrictions on purely raising an army in peacetime are impossible to enforce, because the only one who could enforce them (the Federal government) could also ignore them as it pleases.
"examples of states" Sparta is also an example cited.
"when it was a point of contention" to "being a point of contention"
"in Federalist No. 40, No. 41, and No. 48." should be "in Federalists No. 40, No. 41, and No. 48."
Sources seem reliable and are properly formatted; will perform spot-checks later.

Nice work overall. AryKun (talk) 08:06, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
AryKun, I made all suggested changes, although they might need another look to make sure the wording is clear and that I covered everything. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 23:19, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
Made a small tweak and everything else is great, so will be passing. AryKun (talk) 12:08, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
