John Peter Zenger lived in New York, where he operated a newspaper, along with his wife. His newspaper and the opinions it contained displeased the British government (back then, America was still a British colony) and the governor arrested him. He was charged him with seditious libel. He was ultimately acquitted, but the Zenger's case (which occurred in 1735), led the Founding Fathers to want to protect the right of freedom of speech and freedom of the press, which they did by creating the First Amendment to the Constitution later on.
