Book Description
The Napoleon Series offers access to information about and the text of the U.S. Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. The four laws addressed the legal status of aliens and defamation against the president. The underlying purposes of the laws were to act against politically active, anti-Federalist foreigners and to quiet criticisms against the administration of U.S. President John Adams (1735-1826).

Perilous Times
Author: Geoffrey R. StonePublisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 9780393058802
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 758
Book Description
Geoffrey Stone's Perilous Times incisively investigates how the First Amendment and other civil liberties have been compromised in America during wartime. Stone delineates the consistent suppression of free speech in six historical periods from the Sedition Act of 1798 to the Vietnam War, and ends with a coda that examines the state of civil liberties in the Bush era. Full of fresh legal and historical insight, Perilous Times magisterially presents a dramatic cast of characters who influenced the course of history over a two-hundred-year period: from the presidents—Adams, Lincoln, Wilson, Roosevelt, and Nixon—to the Supreme Court justices—Taney, Holmes, Brandeis, Black, and Warren—to the resisters—Clement Vallandingham, Emma Goldman, Fred Korematsu, and David Dellinger. Filled with dozens of rare photographs, posters, and historical illustrations, Perilous Times is resonant in its call for a new approach in our response to grave crises.
