* A logical
presentation of his political philosophy promoting freedom of
expression, the work advocates the integral role of government
and a free press in efforts to achieve a society in which freedom
of speech is an inherent right and activity. Published soon
after the first amendment to the Constitution was ratified,
the work can be seen as an evolution of Jefferson’s and Madison’s
proposal of freedom of speech. Wortman’s treatise, however,
achieves a moral and ethical analysis of government and free
speech beyond their original appeal for freedom of the press.
Wortman [d.1822] was a New York lawyer, author, newspaper publisher
and orator prominent in Tammany politics. He is also known for
his political tracts, one of which, A Solemn Address to Christians
and Patriots, defended Jefferson against charges of atheism
prior to the election of 1800.
