Page "Noah Webster" Paragraph 16

Politician Daniel Webster was Noah Webster ’ s cousin.

As a senator, Daniel sponsored Noah ’ s proposed copyright bill.

The first major statutory revision of U. S. copyright law, the 1831 Act was a result of intensive lobbying by Noah Webster and his agents in Congress.

Webster also played a critical role lobbying individual states throughout the country during the 1780s to pass the first American copyright laws, which were expected to have distinct nationalistic implications for the infant nation.
