Note 293 — Chapter IV · Limitations on the Postal Power
Reading edition
The freedom of the press had, of course, figured in the discussion of the so-called Sedition Act passed by Congress on July 14, 1798. It was a factor also in the consideration by the Senate (December, 1901) of legislation “to prevent the teaching and promulgation of anarchical doctrines in the United States.” See my paper, “Federal Interference with the Freedom of the Press,” 23 Yale Law Journal, 559 and authorities there cited.
