Introduction:
The trial of John Peter Zenger was one very big step toward the freedom of press that we use so much today. It wasn't until after this trial that publishers of newspapers felt more free to print their opinions. This freedom wasn't widely know until the First Amendment of the U.S Constitution, and it became very important throughout history, especially during the American Revolution.
