New York Times

“The publication of these secret documents could put the U.S in danger!”


President Richard Nixon used his executive authority to prevent the New York Times from publishing top secret documents pertaining to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.

In 1971, the New York Times vs. United States case was declared upon the Supreme Court. The justices had to consider if there was a sufficient justification for pre-publication censorship, which would be a suspension of the newspapers' First Amendment rights to freedom of the press.

First Amendment rights...

Nixon was concerned that the documents in question would bring about risk to the country.

In a 6-3 decision, The Court ruled that the President’s attempt to prevent the publication was a violation of First Amendment protection for press freedom and thatthe intent of the publication was not to put the U.S. in danger but to educate the American people about the Vietnam War.

President Richard Nixon has violated the First Amendment protection for the press. This case is closed.

We need to find a way to educate the American people on the Vietnam War.

I believe that publishing documents concerning U.S. involvement in the war would be permitted...
