The First Amendment to the American Constitution declares o freedom of the press to all people. Although this right was not officially adopted until 179 l , the famous Zenger trial of 1735 laid the groundwork for insuring this precious freedom. .73 John Peter Zenger emigrated as a teenager from Germany. In 1733, he began publishing the New York Weekly journal. The o following year, he was arrested for writing a story about the crown-appointed governor of New York. While Zenger was imprisoned for nine months, his wife dutifully published the newspaper 1--3 everyday, bravely telling the truth about the corrupt government officials sent by the king to govern the colonies. Finally Zenger's long-awaited trial took place. The hostile judge dismissed Zenger's -5' local lawyers, making it necessary for his wife to seek out Andrew o Hamilton, a prominent Philadelphia lawyer. Persuaded by ; Hamilton, the jury bravely returned a not-guilty verdict, defying the judge's orders for a conviction. As a result of determination and bravery on the part of the colonists, a lasting victory for freedom of ' the press was gained by immigrant.
