Introduction -- Informal Fallacies in Two Procedural Debates on the Bill of Rights in the Summer of 1789 -- The Decision of August 13, 1789 -- Divisions of Freedom of Speech: Debates of November 1794 -- Freedom of Speech under Threat: the Sedition Act of 1798 -- Contesting and Defeating the Sedition Act of 1798 -- '[T]his most unnecessary, unjust, and disgraceful war': Attacks on the Madison Administration in Federalist Newspapers during the War of 1812 -- Woodrow Wilson and the Threat to Freedom of Speech -- Concluding Observations.

Freedom of speech is a tradition distinctive to American political culture, and this book focuses on the major debates and discourses that shaped this tradition. Today the American Bill of Rights, with its famous First Amendment, is generally taken for granted, but when James Madison proposed a Bill of Rights in 1789, the reaction among his colleagues in the first Congress was hostile. The book examines how Madison was able to prevail in spite of such opposition. It focuses on discourses connected to the Sedition Act of 1798, which represented a serious threat to freedom of speech and the first Amendment. The author sheds fresh light on key Congressional debates on the Bill of Rights and the Sedition Act by developing and applying an approach to fallacy theory that is suitable to the study of political discourse. He further focuses on criticism of the Madison administration in Federalist newspapers during the War of 1812, arguing that Madison's toleration of such criticism was important in shaping a tradition of free expression in the United States. Efforts to suppress free expression during the Wilson administration represented a serious challenge to this tradition, and the author goes on to employ fallacy theory in examining Congressional discourses for and against Wilson's policy of repression.
