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>

Elanso [62]
Well, during this period of time, manufacturing jobs started increasing because of the war! Men started leaving their lives in the United States and started storming out to war, and this led to women taking over these jobs. This is why we see the “Rosie the Riveter” posters during this period of time. Just remember, we don’t declare war up until December 8th 1941, when Pearl Harbor was attacked and President Roosevelt signed the Declaration of War.
