本书特色
The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people，the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers， or newspapers without a government，I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
——Thomas Jejfferson to Edward Carrington，16 Jan.1787
A popular Government， without popular information， or the means of acquiring it， is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or， perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance： And a people who mean to be their own Governors，must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.
——James Madison to W. T. Bany，1822
In this question，therefore， there is no medium between servitude and license；in order to enjoy the inestimable benefits that the liberty of the press ensure，it is necessary to submit to the inevitable evils that it creates.
——Alexis de Tocqueville，Democracy in America，1835
If all mankind minus one，were of one opinion， and only one person were of the contrary opinion，mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person，than he，if he had the power， would be justified in silencing mankind.
——John Stuart Mill，On Liberty， 1859
We are under a Constitution， but the Constitution is what the judges say it is，and the judiciary is the safeguard of our property and our liberty and our property under the Constitution.
——Charles Evans Hughes，1907，three years before appointed to be the Chief Justice
