About This Item
From the back cover: "What did 'freedom of the press' really mean to the framers of the First Amendment and their contemporaries?
This book "...answers that question." "Mr Levy argues that the First Amendment was not designed to be the bulwark of a free press as many thought, nor had the amendment's framers intended to overturn the common law of seditious libel that was the principal means of stifling political dissent."
Quote by New York Times Book Review - "A wonderful combination of judiciousness and vigor.
Near Fine condition. Light bumping to covers. Very, very minimal edge/corner wear. Clean and tight - like new book tight.
