The Kingfish and the Constitution is an in-depth analysis of the
poisonous relationship that evolved between Huey "Kingfish" Long,
legendary governor of Louisiana, and the state's daily newspapers.
Long's political battle over the newspaper tax in the Louisiana
legislature in 1934 and the subsequent battle over the
constitutionality of his attempt at censorship by taxation
culminated in the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Grosjean v.
American Press Co. in 1936, a landmark decision that laid the basis
for the protection of modern freedom of the press in America. This
fascinating study will be of interest to scholars and students of
political science, constitutional law, and American history.
