Respuesta :

Answer:

Both Federal and State Governments.

Explanation:

This is subjective, however, on how one defines a military. The standard applicable to the definition of military would then define whether or not the state and federal government has a military or not.


Military, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is, quote:

"of or relating to soldiers, arms, or war".

State Governments, in this case, do have militaries, in the form of the National Guard. The National Guard is organized based on state and territories under Title 32 ch.9, which details the main role of the National Guard.  Under section (d) of Title 32 ch.9, it ensures that the main role of the National Guard is to provide trained and readied units to fill the role of homeland defense.

For Federal Governments, they are allowed to maintain a military under different types of laws and rights. Under the US Constitution Article 1, Section 8, cl.12, Congress (the legislative branch of the US federal government), has the power to raise a standing army that is active for up to 2 years, and was only allowed for the defense of the United States. This was replaced in Sept. 29, 1789 that allowed for the establishment of troops.
