Definition(s)
- Since America's inception, the debate over the federal government's right to compel Americans into military service (i.e., the right to draft) has evoked passion and dissidence. Some resisters questioned whether the federal government had the authority to compel military service while others disagreed with the premise of the war they were being drafted to fight in.
