Resumen

El escrito que inaugura la concepción moderna de la libertad de expresión, el discurso que el conocido poeta republicano John Milton dirigió al Parlamento de Inglaterra durante la Revolución Puritana en defensa de la libertad de prensa inglesa con el singular título de Areopagítica alcanzó notable influencia al otro lado del Atlántico en la ideología colonial y revolucionaria norteamericana, siendo fuente de inspiración para los primeros escritos que surcaron las colonias frente a la regulación restrictiva del libelo sedicioso vigente en el common law, como reflejan los artículos periodísticos de Benjamín Franklin, los ensayos de James Alexander y la defensa de Andrew Hamilton en el Caso Zenger, así como para los escritos de aquellos que adoctrinaron la Revolución, especialmente para los sermones del pastor protestante Jonathan Mayhew y, más significativamente, para los escritos del padre fundador de la independencia norteamericana, Thomas Jefferson, notablemente influenciado por la repercusión que estaban teniendo los principios de la Areopagítica en la Francia revolucionaria, reflejándose así la presencia e influencia de la Areopagítica de John Milton en las dos Revoluciones Atlánticas.
