Did the Zenger Case Really Matter? Freedom of the Press in Colonial New York
HE persistent image of colonial America as a society which cherT ished freedom of expression is a sentimental hallucination that ignores history. The evidence provides little comfort for the notion that the colonies hospitably received advocates of obnoxious or detestable ideas on matters that counted. Nor is there reason to believe that rambunctious unorthodoxies suffered only from Puritan bigots and tyrannous royal judges. The American people a…

HE Bill of Rights epitomizes one of our history's most noble and enduringly important themes, the triumph of individual liberty, yet has been strangely one of the most neglected subjects.
