Abstract
In 1798, fearing the subversive influence of revolutionary France, Congress made it illegal to incite opposition to acts of government, or to publish writings intended to defame public officials or bring the political system into contempt or disrepute.James Madison, who strongly opposed censorship, fought these restrictions with a vigorous defense of press freedom.
