In analysis of Vera Figner’s Memoirs of a Revolutionist, Figner expressed a few political goals that led her to assume violence as the only answer to the economic, political, and social injustices forced upon the peasants, by the government authority and Russian traditions.

It was soon after that talk over the Bill of Rights emerged and it was even more shortly after when the Bill of Rights was not a talk, but an actual document which would include the famous Second Amendment.
