  • The Lee Family and Freedom of the Press in Virginia the Free Press Clause in the First Amendment to the U.S
    ROGER MELLEN The Lee Family and Freedom of the Press in Virginia The free press clause in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is considered a unique and important part of our American democracy. While the origins of this right are a key to current legal interpretations, there is much misunderstanding about its genesis. This research uses eighteenth-century personal correspondence, other archival evidence, and published articles to demonstrate new connections between the Lee family of Virginia and the constitutional right to a free press. The important tradition of freedom of the press in the United of Virginia led Madison to pledge proposing a bill of rights if States owes a greater debt to one important family in Virginia than he were elected to Congress.2 When he did join the new House has been previously recognized. When we reflect upon the origins of of Representatives, Madison did as promised and composed the the right to freedom of the press, we tend to remember John Locke, amendments.

  • The Issue of Women's Voting Rights and Practice in Early America
    The issue of women’s voting rights and practice in early America Linda Garbaye From the end of the 18th century, the specific experience of granting voting rights to unmarried women who owned property in New Jersey, together with how they exercised this right during the short time they enjoyed it, has become more visible in historiography. The narratives usually feature three main periods: the first New Jersey Constitution in 1776, the legislation and statutes in the 1790s, and the backlash against New Jersey female voters in 1807. This article first seeks to introduce the key aspects of the history of women’s voting rights in the British colonies of North America, the United States, and some northern and western European countries at the end of the 18th century. It then provides the major elements in the history of New Jersey’s female voters around the turn of the 19th century. The final part highlights how suffragists in the 19th century referred to New Jersey’s historical precedent to denounce the lack of suffrage for all female U.S. citizens. Part 1 – Women’s privileges and rights in the 18th century Voting rights were granted—temporarily—to unmarried and property- owning women in New Jersey during the Enlightenment and the American Revolution.1 The theory of natural rights and the idea of a social contract, which had been gaining popularity since the 17th century, were fully debated and put into practice in certain cases. Broadly speaking, one key tenet of the Enlightenment was that the equality of men in the state of nature requires them to establish a social contract for all.
