Press and speech under assault : the early Supreme Court justices and the Sedition Act of 1798, and the campaign against dissent

Wendell R. Bird (Author)
"The early Supreme Court justices wrestled with how much press and speech is protected by freedoms of press and speech, before and under the First Amendment, and with whether the Sedition Act of 1798 violated those freedoms. This book discusses the twelve Supreme Court justices before John Marshall, their views of liberties of press and speech, and the Sedition Act prosecutions over which some of them presided."--Amazon.com
