Abstract

THE AUTHOR DISCUSSES THE PRESIDENCY, ARGUING THAT THE GOOD DERIVED FROM FREEDOM OF SPEECH, PRESS AND ALL FORMS OF THE MEDIA IS INFINITELY TO BE PREFERRED TO ANY FORM OF CONTROL OF THOUGHT OR EXPRESSION. HE POSITS THAT LIBERTY AS WE KNOW IT IN AMERICA WOULD PERISH WITHOUT THE FIRST AMENDMENT.
