Very enlightening. I never picked up on three parts when reading the amendment. I need to reread this epistle as some Republicans stating it cannot be used against Trump because he was never adjudicated. I see nothing in the Amendment that a court verdict is necessary.
As usual appreciate your views. Always stimulating and thought provoking.
What was the corrected error (or errors)? Do you expect readers to read both versions, line by line, to find mistakes? Was it a factual or grammatical or spelling error? What do you want readers to know?
One task in my service to five governors was bill drafting which involved word by word comparison of draft legislative proposals, including the placement of punctuation which can be critical. I have seen minor errors in your writing that weren't corrected. I don't expect perfection, but hire a proofreader.
Eric, I noted in the text of both versions where the error occurred and what the original version said. I am not trying to hide the error.
In terms of proofreading, I offer the newsletter as a free product and I do not earn anything from it. In order to hire a proofreader, I would need to charge readers, which I do not want to do. I will always be trying to improve my proofreading however, as I think it is an important life-long skill to better!
Thanks for your prompt reply! I'll look for the notation. I didn't mean to imply that you hid an error. I have enjoyed your spirited conversations with Clay Jenkinson on NPR. Keep it up!
An off the wall question. Loved this article and especially the reference links. So how if at all does the Alien and Sedition Act relate to these two acts?
And don’t forget to ask the New York Journal of Books for a review of your upcoming volume! I need some good ones this year. 📚👍🏻
That's a great question. In theory, there was no legal connection. However, the Fries Rebellion was partially provoked by the Alien and Sedition Acts. Really, the rebels saw the entire Federalist Program as one big thing, including the taxes, the army, and the A/S acts, and they were pissed about all of it. Lots more about that in the book :)

Thanks! Really clear analysis of a few terms which are used loosely

I'll be sure to add it to the list!
Heh...yes can't wait to read about our guy John Adams....(I still see Paul Giamatti whenever someone says John Adams :)
Of course! Thanks for reading and the encouragement. I can always do better. And thank you for listening!
