It 'indicates' one CLEAR PIECE of (what is now American history) showing how that clause came to be written as it is and then placed into the new constitution. It indicates just about nothing about the meaning of the amendment. There are all sorts of facts about how the clause came to be written as is, but the vast majority of them don't indicate much that's relevant to this debate. Not every moment of the history of the amendment is strongly relevant to the intended meaning of the amendment.
