Zechariah Chafee Jr. (December 7, 1885 – February 8, 1957) was an American judicial philosopher and civil rights advocate, described as "possibly the most important First Amendment scholar of the first half of the twentieth century" by Richard Primus.[1] Chafee's avid defense of freedom of speech led to Senator Joseph McCarthy calling him "dangerous" to America.[2]
