Rights

What is your right?
Freedom of the Press

Why does your right exist?
Many religions, philosophies, schools of political thought, and systems of government were spread through writing.
"The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them." --Thomas Jefferson to Edward Carrington, 1787.

Describe what it means to exercise your right.
The Press is a term used to describe any information provided to people. For example T.V., Books, Art, Magazines, etc. People have debated if freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press are the same thing and other people say they are coexstinsive.
"The press [is] the only tocsin of a nation. [When it] is completely silenced... all means of a general effort [are] taken away." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Cooper, Nov 29, 1802. (*) ME 10:341

What limitations exist on your right?
Freedom of the Press, for example, lets a writer publish anything he wants in the newspaper. So with that they could print either truth or lies. So although there is a right saying you have freedom of the press, there are definately limitations 'any discussion of freedom of the press must distinguish freedom in fact from legal freedom'.

Why do those limitations exist?
These limitations exist because its not right to print lies.

If you had to give up this right, what would you want in return?
To not have Freedom of the Press would be a terrible thing. So many things would go away and i dont think i could think of anything in return that would make it better.
