The correct answer is <span>The colonists could criticize the government as long as they were speaking the truth. 

Zenger was accused of criticizing the government because it was perceived to be libel. When it was proven that it wasn't libel but rather that he was pointing out things that are true, it was established that speaking truth even against your government means that you can't be charged with libel since libel is based around defamatory lies.</span>

They were upset because the law forbade them from settling in the Ohio River Valley where there was fertile soil for farming, and the Native Americans weren't using it, plus many colonists had already bought land west of the Appalachians and now weren't allowed to move. Many colonists did not respect the Native Americans and did not want to preserve their land. The colonists just ignored the law and moved across the Appalachians.
