+|contents=The right is explicitly stated in the Constitution, though challenges and questions towards it have arisen throughout the United States’ legal history. One of the first such challenges were the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, which came about out of an increasing aversion towards disloyalty brought about by fears of France’s potential invasion of the United States (Batten, 2010). Signed by John Adams, the acts allowed for the deportation of immigrants originating from a country that the United States was currently at war with, and, crucially, gave the government the ability to punish those who “…shall write, print, utter or publish…any false, scandalous and malicious writing or writings against the government of the United States…” (Congress, 1845). According to Douglas Bradburn, “The clamor against the Alien and Sedition Acts was broad, important, and deeply consequential”, with Thomas Jefferson leading the backlash (Bradburn, 2008, pg. 567). The political and public reaction to curtailments of the first amendment, including the right to freedom of the press were strongly antagonistic from the beginning.
