“The prosecution [of impeachments], will seldom fail to agitate the passions of the whole community, and to divide it into parties more or less friendly or inimical to the accused. The subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust, and they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself.” MenDoneWholePassionCommunityPartyFailingSubjectsAbuseRelateInjuryFriendlyDividesOffenseAccusedViolationProsecutionJurisdictionImpeachmentPublic TrustAgitateMisconduct Author:Alexander Hamilton
“But it is recognized that punishment for the abuse of the liberty accorded to the press is essential to the protection of the public, and that the common law rules that subject the libeler to responsibility for the public offense, as well as for the private injury, are not abolished by the protection extended in our constitutions.

There is also the conceded authority of courts to punish for contempt when publications directly tend to prevent the proper discharge of judicial functions.” WellsLawCommonResponsibilityLibertySubjectsEssentialsAuthorityAbuseFunctionConstitutionFoundationCourtPressesProtectionCriminalsPunishmentSecureInjuryContemptOffensePublicationJudicialDischargeLibelConcededCommon Law Author:Charles Evans Hughes
