Thomas Paine's pamphlet "Common Sense"
Rocks and minerals are not the same thing.
All organized communities have government, leadership, form of currency or trade, and citizens, etc. Hope this helps.
Freedom of press is important because it allows a person to talk about the government both positive and negatively without getting a punishment.
Example:
President John Adams once put out a law where if a citizen talks bad about the government they would be punished. That violated their rights of saying what they wanted.
