c. the militia

Explanation:

The militias were an organization that represented a kind of "school of political democracy" for members of the "lower orders" in the colonies that became states. The militias aimed to defend the territory and supremacy of the colonies before becoming states. All physically healthy men could enter the militia and defend their state. The militias were authorized by the US federal constitution, and were "organized, armed and disciplined."
