Against Meidias
Civic capacity to speak, complain, and seek redress without intimidation.
he has done nothing reprehensible, yet now there he stands silent, stripped not only of all our common privileges, but also of the right to speak or complain;
It must not be supposed that the man who by intimidation tries to debar any citizen from obtaining reparation for his wrongs is doing less than robbing us of our liberties and of our right of free speech.
Against Stephanus I
A civic right that Phormio is accused of stripping from another person.
Whom have I deprived of the citizenship of which I was deemed worthy, and of the right of free speech in the city, as you did in the case of the man whom you dishonored?
