The most prominent individual prosecuted under John Adams’ Sedition Act of 1798 was Matthew Lyon, a Democratic-Republican congressman from Vermont, who was convicted for criticizing President Adams in print; other notable figures prosecuted included journalists like Benjamin Franklin Bache, William Duane, and James Thompson Callender, all of whom published critical content against the Adams administration in their newspapers
