The Zenger trial, which took place in 1735, established a significant precedent for the freedom of the press in the American colonies. John Peter Zenger was acquitted of libel charges for publishing criticisms of the colonial governor, which underscored the principle that truth is a defense against libel. This trial helped to affirm the idea that colonists had the right to express their opinions and criticize government officials without fear of retribution, ultimately contributing to the broader movement for civil liberties in America.
