1 - freedom of religion

4 - the right to counsel
Answers:
2. Freedom of the Press

The trial of John Peter Zenger ended on August 5, 1735, when the twelve New York jurors returned a verdict of not guilty on the charge of publishing seditious libels, despite the Governor's hand-picked judges presiding. Zenger's attorney had successfully argued that Zenger's articles were not libelous because they were based on fact.
The New York Times v. United States ruling made it possible for the New York Times and Washington Post newspapers to publish the then-classified Pentagon Papers without risk of government censure.
