Fairies are arguably the most important magical inhabitants of the Neverland, and its primary magic users. A property of their nature is the production and possession of fairy dust, the magic material which enables flying for all characters except Peter, who was taught to fly by the birds, and later by the fairies in Kensington Gardens. The only-named fairy is Tinker Bell, Peter Pan's companion, whose name alludes to her profession as a ' tinker', or fixer of pots and pans. Tinker Bell is essentially a household fairy, but far from benign. Her exotic, fiery nature, and capacity for evil and mischief, due to fairies being too small to feel more than one type of emotion at any one time, is reminiscent of the more hostile fairies encountered by Peter in Kensington Gardens. A Declaration of Rights. Section 13. That a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defence of a free State; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided, as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power. [93] By January 1788, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia and Connecticut ratified the Constitution without insisting upon amendments. Several amendments were proposed, but were not adopted at the time the Constitution was ratified. For example, the Pennsylvania convention debated fifteen amendments, one of which concerned the right of the people to be armed, another with the militia. The Massachusetts convention also ratified the Constitution with an attached list of proposed amendments. In the end, the ratification convention was so evenly divided between those for and against the Constitution that the federalists agreed to the Bill of Rights to assure ratification. In United States v. Cruikshank (1876), the Supreme Court ruled that, "The right to bear arms is not granted by the Constitution; neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The Second Amendments [ sic] means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress, and has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the National Government." [15] In United States v. Miller (1939), the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment did not protect weapon types not having a "reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia". [16] [17] REUSED PROPS: The first illustration by Caldecott can also be seen in Henry's room in the Season One premiere " Pilot". [30] Before a standing army can rule the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States. [13] [122]

On July 21, Madison again raised the issue of his bill and proposed that a select committee be created to report on it. The House voted in favor of Madison's motion, [136] and the Bill of Rights entered committee for review. The committee returned to the House a reworded version of the Second Amendment on July 28. [137] On August 17, that version was read into the Journal: It is relevant that Pennsylvania was a Quaker Colony traditionally opposed to bearing arms. "In settling Pennsylvania, William Penn had a great experiment in view, a 'holy experiment', as he term[ed] it. This was no less than to test, on a scale of considerable magnitude, the practicability of founding and governing a State on the sure principles of the Christian religion; where the executive should be sustained without arms; where justice should be administered without oaths; and where real religion might flourish without the incubus of a hierarchical system." [96] The Non-Quaker residents, many from the Western Counties, complained often and loudly of being denied the right to a common defense. By the time of the American Revolution, through what could be described as a revolution within a revolution, the pro-militia factions had gained ascendancy in the state's government. And by a manipulation through the use of oaths, disqualifying Quaker members, they made up a vast majority of the convention forming the new state constitution; it was only natural that they would assert their efforts to form a compulsory State Militia in the context of a "right" to defend themselves and the state. [97] Although there is little doubt that the writers of the Second Amendment were heavily influenced by the English Bill of Rights, it is a matter of interpretation as to whether they were intent on preserving the power to regulate arms to the states over the federal government (as the English Parliament had reserved for itself against the monarch) or whether it was intent on creating a new right akin to the right of others written into the Constitution (as the Supreme Court decided in Heller). Some in the United States have preferred the "rights" argument arguing that the English Bill of Rights had granted a right. The need to have arms for self-defence was not really in question. Peoples all around the world since time immemorial had armed themselves for the protection of themselves and others, and as organized nations began to appear these arrangements had been extended to the protection of the state. [48] Without a regular army and police force, it had been the duty of certain men to keep watch and ward at night and to confront and capture suspicious persons. Every subject had an obligation to protect the king's peace and assist in the suppression of riots. [49] Influence of the English Militia Act of 1757 The Darling children, Wendy and John crowd around their bedroom window, awaiting the return of a presence they call "The Shadow". Wendy invites Baelfire to come and wait for it with them. Baelfire is slightly concerned and asks Wendy what this shadow is and when it came. Wendy tells him that a couple weeks ago, around the time Baelfire came to their home, a shadow came flying into their room that was not attached to a human body. She tells him that this shadow can travel between worlds and change its shape because of its magical ways. As soon as Baelfire hears that magic is involved, he feels obligated to warn them about this shadow. He forbids them from talking to the Shadow ever again. Wendy sees this as a ludicrous demand, but Baelfire tells John, Michael and Wendy that all magic comes with a price. John tells Baelfire that he is just saying that because he is a non-believer, but Baelfire asserts that he does believe in magic and has seen it, because he comes from another land, a land abundant with magic. Wendy is intrigued by this and tells Baelfire that a land like that sounds wonderful. Baelfire tells her it is not, it's the reason he left it. He adds that magic is what destroyed his family, and he does not want it to destroy hers as well. After hearing this, Wendy promises that she will stay away from the Shadow. The English Bill of Rights includes the proviso that arms must be as "allowed by law". This has been the case before and after the passage of the Bill. While it did not override earlier restrictions on the ownership of guns for hunting, it is subject to the parliamentary right to implicitly or explicitly repeal earlier enactments. [42]Mary Margaret and David come into Mr. Gold's shop to tell Mr. Gold that Regina is missing, but Mr. Gold says that that is just the way he likes her and resumes drinking with Lacey. David tells Mr. Gold that despite his feelings about Regina, he still owes him a favor. Once again, Lacey does not understand what he is talking about, so Mr. Gold asks her to excuse him so he can attend to his business. Mr. Gold tells them that he can find something to help locate Regina, but first he wants to know why they would want to help the Evil Queen. Mary Margaret says that she owes it to Regina because of what she did to her mother, Cora.

In his close analysis of James Madison's writings, Bogus describes the South's obsession with militias during the ratification process: [128] In the 21st century, the amendment has been subjected to renewed academic inquiry and judicial interest. [17] In District of Columbia v. Heller, the Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision that held the amendment protects an individual's right to keep a gun for self-defense. [18] [19] This was the first time the Court had ruled that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual's right to own a gun. [20] [21] [19] In McDonald v. Chicago (2010), the Supreme Court clarified that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment incorporated the Second Amendment against state and local governments. [22] In Caetano v. Massachusetts (2016), the Supreme Court reiterated its earlier rulings that "the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding" and that its protection is not limited to "only those weapons useful in warfare". The debate between various organizations regarding gun control and gun rights continues. [23] Text Practically since its ratification, Americans have debated the meaning of the Second Amendment, with vehement arguments being made on both sides.

Secondly, they also greatly feared "a ruinous slave rebellion in which their families would be slaughtered and their property destroyed." When Virginia ratified the Bill of Rights on December 15, 1791, the Haitian Revolution, a successful slave rebellion, was under way. The right to bear arms was therefore deliberately tied to membership in a militia by the slaveholder and chief drafter of the Amendment, James Madison, because only whites could join militias in the South. [133] But as militias had proved insufficient against the British, the Constitutional Convention gave the new federal government the power to establish a standing army, even in peacetime. During the first two decades following the ratification of the Second Amendment, public opposition to standing armies, among Anti-Federalists and Federalists alike, persisted and manifested itself locally as a general reluctance to create a professional armed police force, instead relying on county sheriffs, constables and night watchmen to enforce local ordinances. [71] Though sometimes compensated, often these positions were unpaid–held as a matter of civic duty. In these early decades, law enforcement officers were rarely armed with firearms, using billy clubs as their sole defensive weapons. [71] In serious emergencies, a posse comitatus, militia company, or group of vigilantes assumed law enforcement duties; these individuals were more likely than the local sheriff to be armed with firearms. [71] Emma takes Neal to the beach to look for Tamara. Neal asks Emma if she believes Tamara is keeping Regina in a sandcastle, and then claims that her emotions are clouding her judgement. Emma then tells Neal that although it was hurtful when he never came looking for her and found Tallahassee with someone else, this is not about breaking up him and Tamara. Tamara happens to run into them while running on the beach; she explains to Neal that she starts in the woods but later runs on the beach. Emma tells Tamara that Regina is missing, and Tamara seems legitimately concerned and tells Emma to let her know if she can be of any assistance. When Emma gets ready to leave the beach, Neal tells her that he wanted to go to jail for her, but August talked him into letting her go. He also tells Emma that he was afraid that Emma would never forgive him, because he never forgave himself. He then apologizes to Emma for everything he has done to her. Note: On May 10, 1776, Congress passed a resolution recommending that any colony with a government that was not inclined toward independence should form one that was. [92]

This episode contains a number of other references to Disney works. See the list of Disney references for more. provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions; The text of the English Bill of Rights of 1689 includes language protecting the right of Protestants against disarmament by the Crown, stating: "That the Subjects which are Protestants may have Arms for their Defence suitable to their Conditions and as allowed by Law." [40] It also contained text that aspired to bind future Parliaments, though under English constitutional law no Parliament can bind any later Parliament. [41] Articles XXV–XXVII. 25. That a well-regulated militia is the proper and natural defence of a free government. 26. That standing armies are dangerous to liberty, and ought not to be raised or kept up, without consent of the Legislature. 27. That in all cases, and at all times, the military ought to be under strict subordination to and control of the civil power. [98]The title of the episode is directly taken from a line in the Disney film Peter Pan: While taking the kids to Neverland, the titular character says, "There it is, Wendy. Second star to the right and straight on till morning." (The original line from J. M. Barrie's story is slightly different; it goes "Second to the right and then straight on till morning". [6]) The ratification acts from New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and South Carolina contained only one comma, but with differences in capitalization. Pennsylvania's act states: [34] Just moments after Rumplestiltskin lets his son slip through the portal, Baelfire lands in a land without magic. There, he is almost run over by a horse-drawn carriage. When he looks up he sees a monument that reads "Kensington Gardens", and around the corner are a couple of people walking near street lamps. Baelfire turns his head to see London's Elizabeth Tower. The first Land Without Magic events takes place thousands of years after "Flower Child" and the second takes place six months after Baelfire's arrival in the new land.

In the slave states, the militia was available for military operations, but its biggest function was to police the slaves. [126] [127] According to Dr Carl T. Bogus, Professor of Law of the Roger Williams University Law School in Rhode Island, [126] the Second Amendment was written to assure the Southern states that Congress would not undermine the slave system by using its newly acquired constitutional authority over the militia to disarm the state militia and thereby destroy the South's principal instrument of slave control. [128] In the Blanchard loft, Mother Superior heals Regina with her wand and tells David and Mary Margaret that now that the cuff which prevented her magic is off. Regina should be fine, and in time her magic will return. Emma comes into the apartment and tells them that Tamara killed Neal.In the 20th century, Congress passed the Militia Act of 1903. The act defined the militia as every able-bodied male aged 18 to 44 who was a citizen or intended to become one. The militia was then divided by the act into the United States National Guard and the unorganized Reserve Militia. [150] [151] Now in Neverland, the Shadow flies Baelfire over a large body of water. Baelfire lights a match, before putting it in the Shadow's face, which causes the Shadow to drop him. The Shadow cannot find Baelfire, so it retreats to the Neverland island. After floating for a while, a pirate ship finds Baelfire and pulls him out of the water. The ship's captain, Captain Hook, welcomes the boy to the Jolly Roger. In Barrie's Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (1906), a proto-version of Neverland, located in the Serpentine in Kensington Gardens, is called the Birds' Island, where baby Peter reaches by flight, or by sailing in a paper boat or thrush's nest.
