Read the passage below and choose the right answer to the questions from 1-4 The First Amendment to the American Constitution declares freedom of the press to all people. Although this right was not officially adopted until 1791, the famous Zenger trial of 1735 laid the groundwork for ensuring this precious freedom. John Peter Zenger emigrated as a teenager from Germany, In 1733, he began publishing the New York Weekly journal. The 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 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 local lawyers, making it necessary for his wife to seek out Andrew 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 immigrants.
