2.equal voting rights
3.protection of private property
4.freedom of the press
Answer:
The Answer is option (4) Freedom of the press.
Explanation:
To begin with, Freedom of the press is one of the fundamental rights of a democratic society. It helps various electronic and printed media especially newspaper and magazines to report news without fear of being restricted, controlled or censored by the government.
This right or democratic principle was helped established by a lawyer Andrew Hamilton in 1735 while he was defending a newspaper publisher called John Peter Zenger. The publisher was charged with Libel simply because he published criticism of the government.
Defending the publisher, Andrew Hamilton put up a long speech (that includes the court summation in this question) arguing that true statements of criticisms should not be considered as libel. He was able to make the judge and jury agree to his argument that truth is a defense against accusations of libel.
