Maximilien Robespierre (1758-1794) was one of the leaders and orators of the French Revolution of 1789, best known for his involvement in the Reign of Terror that followed.
As a young man, he studied law and had a reputation for honesty and compassion. He sought to abolish the death penalty and refused to pronounce a required death sentence after becoming a judge.
But as the revolution approached, Robespierre became head of the powerful Jacobin Club, a radical group advocating exile or death for France's nobility. In 1792, after Paris mobs stormed the palace of the Tuileries and dethroned King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, Robespierre helped organize the new revolutionary governing body, the Commune of Paris.
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.

Assuming your question is in reference to the Vietnam War, the United States got involved because of
<h2>domino theory and the policy of containment.</h2>
"Domino theory" was applied in justifying US involvement in the Vietnam War. Domino theory said that the spread of communism in Vietnam would result in other countries in the region falling like dominoes to the influence of communism.
Domino theory was a corollary to the overall policy of containment that developed as the United States' policy regarding communism after the end of World War II. George F. Kennan is known for recommending the policy of containment, which said that the best way to deal with the threat of communism was simply to try to keep it contained to the places where it already existed.
