Charles Hammond And His Relations To Henry Clay And John Quincy Adams Or Constitutional Limitations And The Contest For Freedom Of Speech And The Press (1885)

""Charles Hammond and His Relations to Henry Clay and John Quincy Adams: Or Constitutional Limitations and the Contest for Freedom of Speech and the Press"" is a historical book written by William Henry Smith and published in 1885. The book tells the story of Charles Hammond, a prominent journalist and lawyer in the early 19th century, and his interactions with two of the most influential political figures of the time: Henry Clay and John Quincy Adams. The book explores the constitutional limitations on freedom of speech and the press during this period, and how Hammond's advocacy for these rights put him at odds with powerful political forces. Smith delves into the complex relationships between Hammond, Clay, and Adams, examining how their differing views on issues such as slavery and states' rights affected their interactions. Through extensive research and analysis of primary sources, Smith paints a vivid picture of the political and social landscape of the early 19th century, and the struggles faced by those who fought for the freedoms we take for granted today. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, politics, and the ongoing struggle for civil liberties.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
