Answer: Upheld the right of the newspapers to print the document.
New York Times Co. v. United States was a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court in 1971. The ruling made it possible for the New York Times and the Washington Post to publish the then-classified Pentagon Papers without censorship.
The question was whether the freedom of the press, guaranteed by the First Amendment, was subordinate to the need to maintain secrecy as stated by the executive branch, President Nixon. The court claimed that the First Amendment protected the freedom of press of the newspapers.
The options for this question are:
<em>A) Congress</em>
<em>B) Select comittee</em>
<em>C) Party Caucus</em>
<em>D) Legislative district</em>
The correct answer is A.
The House of Representatives and the Senate make up Congress. Congress is a bicameral body that forms the legislative branch of the US government.
The House of Representatives is made up of 435 representatives and the Senate is made up of 100 representatives.
This bicameral organization originated in the Connecticut Compromise during the Constitutional Convention (1787) to resolve the problem of representation in Congress. This was made to balance the tensions in representation caused by different numbers in population and different economic powers of the states.
