Francisco. Flowers on the Bay will deliver your bouquet to a random
couple. Anonymity seems to go both ways in this case, so it's
suggested that cards say, "With love, from Boston, Massachusetts."
"Call it The Big Gay Bouquet call it Flowers from the Heartland. Call
it whatever you want, but help us get this off the ground. " I called

The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798
The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798
12/19/2004 03:40 PMLots of interesting comments and questions. Let me go back to the
beginning, to a time less than a decade after the United States
adopted our Constitution. In 1798, there was a bitter political
division in the young nation between the Federalists (led by John
Adams and Alexander Hamilton) and the Republican (led by Thomas
Jefferson and James Madison). In the elections of 1796, the
Federalists had retained control of both houses of Congress and Adams
had defeated Jefferson by a scant three electoral votes. It's
important to understand that at this time in history Americans were
deeply uncertain about the nation's future. Would democracy work?
There was no good precedent. It was truly an experiment, and no one
was sure the nation wouldn't simply fall apart. The Federalists
represented the propertied class. They were very concerned about
stability and security, and were very anxious about the passions and
irresponsibility of the common man. The Republicans exalted liberty
over security and were deeply suspicious of the Federalists.
At this time, a war raged in Europe between England and France. The
United States tried to maintain its neutrality so it could both avoid
war and continue to engage in commerce with both all sides. But in
1798 the United States entered into a treaty with England that
infuriated the French. Adams put the nation on war footing. The
Federalists gave him a larger army and a larger navy. We were on the
brink of declaring war. The Republicans were furious. They were much
more sympathetic to the French (who had overthrown their monarchy) and
much more hostile to the English (who were still ruled by a monarch).
It was in this context that the Federalists enacted the Alien and
Sedition Act.
The Alien Act empowered President Adams to arrest, detain, and deport
any non-citizen he found to be a danger to the security of the nation.
The individual was given no right to a hearing and no right to present
evidence in his defense. The Republicans objected that this was
unconstitutional; the Federalists responded that aliens had no rights
under the United States Constitution because they were not part of "We
the People." The Sedition Act effectively made it a crime for any
person to criticize the President, the Congress or the Government of
the United States. The Republicans vehemently object that the Act
violated the First Amendment; the Federalists argued that in time of
war it was essential to stifle criticism of the government because if
the People lost confidence in the government they would not make the
sacrifices war demands.
The Federalist prosecutors and judges used the Sedition Act
exclusively against Republicans, especially against Republican
congressmen and editors who criticized the President. Although the
Federalists argued that this legislation was necessary because the
nation was on the brink of war, the real reason the Federalists wanted
it was to silence Republican criticism and thus to ensure that Adams
would defeat Jefferson in the election of 1800.
The plan backfired. The American people rose up in protest against
these Act and elected Jefferson. This led to the demise of the
Federalist Party. Jefferson pardoned all those who had been convicted
under the Act. Fifty years later, Congress declared that the Sedition
Act of 1798 was unconstitutional, and the Supreme Court has never
since missed an opportunity to declare that the Act was
unconstitutional in the "court of history."
There are (at least) two lessons we can learn fro this episode: First,
clever politicians will often take advantage of a wartime atmosphere
to enact policies that will serve their partisan ends. Second, it will
often fall to the People themselves to protect their civil lliberties.
They cannot always rely on elected officials or judges to protect them
for them.
Do you think any of this is relevant to the present?

Gmail invites exchange for acts of good
Gmail invites exchange for acts of good
06/08/2004 02:35 AMPeople have been auctioning Google gmail invitations on eBay. Jonas has set up a gmail
invitation exchange for people who donate invitations and for
people willing to do something "good" in exchange for an
invite.
Jonas
It's not free,
however. If you're interested in one, comment here and let me know
what you're willing to do for it. Not to me (though I am more than
ready to trade for a few good massages), but to someone else. A random
act of kindness, maybe? Work in a soup kitchen? Help out at a needle
exchange? Or maybe you're doing that already - you'd be the ideal
recipient.
