"The last right we shall mention regards the freedom of the press. The
importance of this consists, besides the advancement of truth, science,
morality, and arts in general, in its diffusion of liberal sentiments on
the administration of Government, its ready communication of thoughts
between subjects, and its consequential promotion of union among them,
whereby oppressive officers are shamed or intimidated into more
honorable and just modes of conducting affairs."

Congress in 1774
