Discuss what “freedom of the press” actually means, according to the authors and if that definition is different than what we understand today? How does this letter compare to the 1st amendment (which was adopted in 1791, years after this letter)? Compare and contrast the two. If you are not familiar with the 1st Amendment, feel free to do a bit of research to refresh your memory!
Identify themes, purpose, and rhetorical features (i. e., use of language, etc.). Point out any key terms used and analyze how they were used and refined over the course of the letter.
Evaluate the reasoning of the argument. Is it sound? Is there evidence to support it, and if so, what is it?
