The constitutional issue of freedom of the press was debated constantly after the release of the Pentagon Papers. The Pentagon Papers were a series of top secret documents that were only supposed to be seen by members of the federal government. However, these documents were leaked to the New York Times and Washington Post thanks to Daniel Ellsberg.

These papers showed that the American government had been lying to the citizens about the progress being made in the Vietnam War. These documents were supposed to be classified, however these newspapers published them in their newspapers anyways. This resulted in the battle between freedom of the press and the ability of the government to keep documents classified from the American public.

OK so I believe the right to have freedom of religion is the most important because it keeps everyone's beliefs intact even though they may be of a different religion you can still practice it. Freedom of religion keeps you spiritually sound by being able to practice what you believe in where ever and when ever you want. This right is protected by not being able to prohibit the practice of any religion but I believe it is limited because of not the government that created freedom of religion but the people of the United states that shun religions other than Christianity and Catholicism like lets say that someone was to pray to the 5 pillars they are usually criticized for believing in something different and are treated differently like an outsider or sometimes worse.
