Cramer and Olson cite the following passage about the history of Bologna from John Adams’ 1787 A Defence of the Constitutions of the Government of the United States of America:
In order to purge the city of its many popular disorders, they were obliged to forbid a great number of persons, under grievous penalties, to enter the palace: nor was it permitted them to go about the city, nor to bear arms.
Debrett’s 1797 Collection of State Papers Relative to the War Against France, in a discussion of orders from the French Army on the occupation of “the country beyond the Rhine”:
The inhabitants of the villages, who shall take arms against the French, shall be shot, and their houses burnt, as shall likewise all who bear arms without permission from the French generals.
