Repressive Jurisprudence in the Early American Republic: The First Amendment and the Legacy of English Law
Blumberg, Phillip I. (University of Connecticut)
Explains how America adopted the widely deplored Sedition Act of 1798 and how it undermined the political ideals of the American Revolution. It examines the limitations to freedom of speech imposed by these repressive doctrines and why this law remained unchallenged until well into the twentieth century.
