First of all, the 4th article of the Bill of Rights. This article expressly establishes the freedom of the press. There was a loophole though: the Bill of Rights only says that 'Congress' shall make no law limiting that freedom; so many States decided that they themselves were fully entitled to curb that freedom if they wanted, and indeed there were several State laws in the 19th century limiting freedom of expression and freedom of the press.

But there was a second protector, the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court over time declared all State laws limiting the freedom of the press unconstitutional.
