Prior Restraint. This is one of the main reasons the framers developed the First Amendment of the constitution. Prior Restraint was very prevalent in the British Monarchy. When the framers established the constitution, they discussed many oppositions to British Law (one of which was prior restraint on expression). The only exception the framers eluded to was Seditious Libel (which they attempted to replicate [Alien and Seditions Act]. But it didnt pass)
