Original Note:
According to Zechariah Chafee, widely regarded as "the most influential" First Amendment scholar in U.S. history, the purpose of the First Amendment was "to outlaw the law of seditious libel" from England. It had nothing to do with race or Marxist conceptions of oppression. https://digitalcommons.law.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2307&context=lawreview
