Question 16 • US History Essentials I Sem. 1

According to Hamilton, what is at stake in Zenger’s trial?

Answer
A
the freedom of every resident of the British empire
B
the freedom of every colonist in the English colonies
C
the freedom of Peter Zenger

Explanation

Hamilton argues that the trial concerns more than Peter Zenger alone: it threatens the liberty of the press and the rights of people throughout the English colonies. Therefore, what is at stake is the freedom of every colonist in the English colonies, not every resident of the entire British Empire or Zenger alone.
