Much has been done by the people of yore in their struggle in effectively materializing the concept of 'freedom of speech' or the 'press freedom', which we verily enjoy in today's time.
One example of such pursuits is a speech given by John Milton which came to be known as Aeropagitica. This speech was delivered by Milton as a crusade for achieving the freedom of press which had been unconditionally curtailed by the government of England in the year 1643 (The licensing order of 1643) in order to preclude the Media to attack and the citizens to oppose the undertakings of the government. He wrote this speech in the year 1644 and was published on November 23 of that year.
A number of classical and Biblical references have been made by Milton in this speech to effectively consolidate his views. This was a major forerunner of other 'freedom struggle' for speech, which made people seek and understand the importance of freedom till this date.
