Sedition Law debate in Congress reflects on public opinion
Rep. Rutledge rebuts Maryland claims on the Sedition Act, recounting printer prosecutions and court actions. He defends constitutional viability, insists on judiciary as arbiter, and argues federalism endures amid calls for reform and fears of disruption. He cites Boston and Philadelphia cases to correct misstatements while challenging anti law rhetoric from Kentucky and Virginia.
