Synopsis:
Far more than courtroom drama, this TRUE STORY about how Alexander Hamilton,
attorney to William Penn and the only colonial admitted to the English Bar, came
out of retirement to defend a printer accused of libeling the Governor by printing
the truth in his newspaper about his corrupt activities. The principals established in
this case, as so eloquently argued by Hamilton, had a profound influence on the
drafting of the Bill of Rights several years latter. "Gentlemen, with an impartial,
uncorrupted verdict we assure ourselves, our posterity, the right, the liberty of
speaking and writing the truth." As author and host, John Nesbitt says at the
conclusion of this drama, "The great footnote to this story, of course, lies in
the Bill of Rights. Freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Old Andrew Hamilton
that day in court was not so much defending his client with law that was already in
existence, but was actually creating law that would not be clearly written down for
generations to come. And when the Bill of Rights was first being written, there on
the table lay a transcript of the case which we have just seen. Which is why we
tried to say in our title that Andrew Hamilton, or Grandpa, did change the world." [RF]
