For social studies I have to write why freedom of the press was important to the abolitionist movement but I don't know what freedom of the press is and the rights it gives us. Can anyone give me and easy to understand description of it?
Freedom of the press gave people the right to publish their opinions in the newspaper, where as in other countries if you published a negative opinion about an important politician or something you could get killed. It was important to the abolitionists because they could speak their minds freely and get their opinions across to others without being restricted.
Boy schools are failing in their responsibility's to their students . Freedom of the press is the presses ability to print the news all the news even news against government , to uncover corruption and crime in government and in society with out harm or threat from government or those doing wrong . An the press to publish opinions against policies and laws against the US Constitution . To be freely able to seek the truth and state it to the people .
Basically, freedom of the press means that you're allowed to express yourself freely in writing. For example, if you said something bad about the government in a piece of writing, you couldn't get punished by the government. Hope I helped! :)
